Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (a former Northwest hub and a current hub for Delta Air Lines) doesn't get many international airlines/year-round heavies (with Delta as the exception), but regional jets definitely frequent MSP 24/7. Seeing the heavies from foreign airlines (Condor, Air France, and now KLM) are definitely some highlights during the summer months.

Heavies and regional jets will mainly use 12R/30L and 12L/30R, respectively. This shortens the length of their taxi routes to their assigned gates. Additionally,  heavies will usually be assigned gates on Concourse G. Charters (usually about the size of a 737 or a 757) will park near Signature Flight Support, directly across from concourses G and F.
