    CID #2 baggage claim
    Frankie M.

    Small airport but does the required job to get you in and out efficiently. Does not take long to go through security check point(s). Friendly staff and a few places to eat.

    All the staff are so nice here compared to other airports! No one was aggressive or rude. TSA was really friendly and just gave gentle reminders about things like needing to have laptops out. I had forgotten my hand lotion in my pocket because we were rushing a bit to get through and the security guard that patted me down was very kind and understanding, which you really don't see at other airports. The airport is small, but it's homey and isn't traveled through much so it's so quick and easy to get through security and get to your gate. The bathrooms are well-stocked and very clean. There are lots of helpful signs around to guide people if it's their first time flying or if they need reminders! There are some food places available near the gates, and car rentals are conveniently placed near the exit/large lot of cars. Overall, I love this airport and would definitely travel through here again! :)

    Very small airport (14 gates only), but it looks so modern and clean. Staff was great and all TSA agents were smiley! There is a bar, coffee kiosk, restaurant/patio area and souvenir/convenience store. That is it. I loved the play on American Gothic (even in the bathrooms).

    This quaint airport is well laid out, clean and organized. I appreciate the ease of getting from ticketing to security to the gate. Signs clearly direct you to where you're heading. They've definitely remodeled it since my childhood days and it looks incredible. The TSA agents are pleasant and eager to assist. They keep things moving which is always appreciated when traveling with kids. They have an escalator and elevator available to get you from lower level security, baggage claim and rental car area to upper level where gates are. There is a restaurant/bar on the upper level for food and beverages. There is also a coffee shop right after stepping off the escalator. Restrooms located just behind the coffee shop and several others throughout the gate area. They also have a few shops for grab and go items as well as essentials and forgotten goodies even gifts. My kids and I enjoyed the large windows throughout that allowed us to watch the planes come and go. Lovely hometown airport.

    Small airport and easy to navigate. They have limited food options but it probably also matches the clientele and the fact that it probably doesn't get that busy. All in all a pleasant experience.

    This year I've flown from here several times and am impressed with the changes and improvements to CID. I love the outdoor space with the fireplace. Javahouse is now available after you come off the elevators.

    Easy in and out. Clean and manageable. One of the better smaller regional airports I've seen.

    They have no service for food or drink after 3:30pn. And vending machines do not accept cash or CC. Place is a ghost building.

    What is the most reliable taxi service in cedar rapids to get to the airport?

    I would actually recommend Lyft.

    GREAT airport! It's not a commercial airport, but for private pilots, this place is absolutely…read moreamazing. If you're looking to learn how to fly or just want to take some rides in smaller airplanes, you can't go wrong with this airport. You can rent aircraft here, attend events, learn to fly, store your aircraft, and more. If you're curious about small aircraft, they also offer rides as well as very affordable Intro rides to give you the flying experience. (I'd say every person who has any interest in aviation should totally do an Intro ride with them - no exclusions.) The guy in charge of this airport (Jonathan) obviously cares about the airport. It doesn't seem to be just a "financial" thing with him. He really has a love for aviation, and he wants to grow the airport and other aviation lovers, and it shows. He's a fantastic teacher and extremely friendly. In fact, all of the employees were very friendly and nice. It's honestly one of the nicest small airports that I've ever been to. For pilots: the interior is really clean and comfortable. They have seating. The bathrooms are clean as well. You're less than 5 minutes away from the city of Independence AND this airport offers a FREE courtesy car. (Just call ahead). If you want to eat somewhere in town, I highly recommend Bill's in Independence. It's totally worth the flight. They have aircraft available for rental as well. Very reasonable rates - and the rates for instruction time are very reasonable as well. The aircraft are in great shape, and among pilots I've talked to, their planes are known for being well taken care-of. Unlike other airports, you can also learn acrobatic flying here as well - yay! This airport is pretty active with events as well. They offer free learning seminars, and they also have cookouts during the summer. I'm not sure if they have any particular fly-ins, but they have a really nice website that seems to be regularly updated (which again, rare with airports), so you can check out that information. The only downside is that it's kinda in the middle of nowhere when driving. You can go from the highway and go to the airport, but you'll be going through a bit of gravel. Alternatively, you can go through Independence's downtown all the way past McDonalds, and take a left. The signs WILL get you from the highway to the airport within 5 minutes if you're driving in. There are also signs if you go through the downtown area. Airports tend to need to be outside of travel areas anyway. Super duper impressed with this place. I'll go out of my way to fly and get training here instead of somewhere else.
