This is our new favorite airport! It's small enough to be able to find everything easily and get in and out quickly, but large enough to have convenient flights to our preferred destinations (or to connecting airports that work well for us, like Denver and Chicago.) Additionally, the rental car lot is right there and getting in and out is easy because there are no gates or codes required. And they have excellent conference room space for rent at a very reasonable $25 per hour (although we went over a little bit and because they weren't busy, they didn't charge us any extra.) This was a godsend because we needed to be on a Zoom call within 30 minutes of landing and don't want to risk driving into CR to a business center. We called as we got onto our flight at O'Hare and they told us rooms were available and to contact them upon our arrival, which we did. They made this super easy and took all the stress out of the situation. We visit this area regularly and look forward to using Cedar Rapids as our primary airport.

Convenient small airport. One down side is returning cars early in the morning. You will park your car in a lot and walk the keys in and deposit in a box. The mild coffee is very weak and watered down. Take note.

Small, clean airport, easy in and easy out. The security lines were almost non-existent, so everything was quick. All the staff were smooth operators and everything seemed to work like a well oiled rig. Theres even some fun things to read on the walls, like artwork from the famous Jeff McNutt.

Cedar Rapids Airport (CID) — Do Better If you’re going to schedule 5:00 AM flights, maybe open your TSA checkpoint before 4:00. Passengers are boarding at 4:30 and can’t even get through security in time, let alone grab a coffee or a bottle of water—since all concessions are still closed and vending machines are either out of order or nonexistent. This morning, the only place open had a line of 16 people just trying to get a drink or snack. I walked down to the brand new wing—nothing. No vending machines, no open concession stand. Just a nice-looking space with zero functionality. And don’t even get me started on TSA. I travel every single week. I know the drill. But this morning’s experience was next-level miserable. As I’m trying to unload six separate items thanks to TSA’s own “strip everything” rules, I’m being barked at like I’ve never flown before. No items over the laptop. Shoes on the belt, not in a bin. Everything was a command—rushed, rude, and condescending. I only have two hands. Chill out. It’s 4:00 AM—not a time for arrogance or aggression. I even mentioned it to another agent afterward, and she silently nodded like, “Yeah, that guy’s always like that.” That’s the problem. This isn’t a one-off. It’s the norm. We’re not livestock. We’re paying customers. If CID wants to be treated like a real airport, it needs to act like one—starting with basic hospitality, early access to essentials, and TSA agents who know the difference between enforcing rules and humiliating people.
