It is the only underground station on the Blue Line and is located 69 feet (21 m) below ground level at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport.

The tunnel and the station both had to be carefully designed to meet Federal Aviation Administration safety requirements.

[7] During the excavation of the tunnels, a buried river valley was encountered a few hundred feet south of the station.

Lindbergh Station is unheated, but maintains a temperature of roughly 50–60 °F (10–15 °C) year-round because of its underground location.

From the station, there is a direct bus connection to Route 54 to Downtown Saint Paul and the Mall of America.
