    Really easy airport!…read more Seamless check in and nice staff! Bathrooms are clean, chairs are very cozy and they even have an outdoor patio with a fireplace by gate 1 & 2! Never seen something like this at an airport. Not many food options but the door has a restaurant, the Java House coffee shop (which has THE BEST CHAI) and a little snack shop. You can usually get through TSA within 8 minutes or less, I have TSA precheck and get through within 3 minutes!

    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.
