Flew out of CR for our flight to Florida this year. Parking is so easy and the lines in this…read moreairport are short. It may be a little pricier to fly out of here-but it is well worth it.

I flew in and out of CID during my most recent visit to Iowa. This trip involved seeing my 97…read moreyear-old Dad in Ames, a side trip to Des Moines, and then over to Iowa City for my semiannual University of Iowa Chemical Engineering Alumni Board meeting. Compared to flying in and out of DSM, I found the amount of required driving to be pretty even. CID is an impressive small-medium airport, with modern features and nice natural light. I counted 13-14 gates, which seemed more than enough to handle existing air traffic and future expansion. I didn't notice any Southwest movement, but I did see American, Delta, United, Allegient, and Frontier business. Who's left? JetBlue? Sun Country? Alaska? I also appreciated the easy walking distance and navigation between Check-In, Security, Gates, Baggage Claim, and the Rental Car Parking Lot. This is the Airport that DSM is probably modelling as they work through their own expansion and modernization plans. TIP: Check out the gift shop for the Iowa Hawkeye Tchotchkes, with a few Caitlin Clark items thrown in. CID is definitely Back in Black.

The ONLY reasons this bus station gets 3 stars is a) it has parking in the area and b) its much…read moreless scary than the Oakland bus station (which isn't to say it is a nice station, just isn't quite as bad). If it weren't for those two factors, it'd get a 1. If you're picking someone up at this station I hope they have a cell phone, because the agents can't seem to give you any idea of when buses will arrive.

0 stars is more adequate. On Saturday 12/3/22 I arrived at this greyhound station to drop-off a…read morefamily member catching a bus departing at 1:10am. This bus was scheduled to board at 12:50am. At 12:56am we pulled in front of the commercial building the station is located in (which was closed and riders stand outside of the darkened entrance) and didn't see a bus waiting. We didn't think too much of it because 3 weeks earlier the bus didn't arrive until 1:15/1:20am...also scheduled to board at 12:50am and leave at 1:10am. Imagine our disgust as 1:10am, 1:20am, and 1:30am rolls around and there is still no bus!?! Finally, at 1:40am we leave. Now the family member can't take care of scheduled business in the destination city, and likely won't be able to get a refund. This is such a poorly run company, how it can stay in business this long is a sad commentary on the b.s. consumers have to put up with. No bus, no notification or a cancelation, no ability to track the bus, no ability to speak with an actual human being for assistance....greyhound has got to be one of the worst companies I've ever encountered. I feel horrible for commuters that have to rely on such inept service and professionalism. Do better, greyhound!

Halfway through the ride I noticed that he never turned on the meter. When I asked about it he told me that it would be a set fee of $20 to get to my hotel which was only 2 miles away! Total ripoff!!! Get an Uber! Too bad there aren't negative star ratings!
