We started the service in 2018 and it's very handy for customers. Stop by the Information desk in the terminal and our Guest Services Associates can hook you up.
Leave the bulky coat behind. It will be all ready for you when you return.
The folks at Mitchell International say they have come up with an alternative to lugging a heavy winter coat to warm weather destinations.
Thank you! Enjoy your much deserved retirement!
Allegiant's nonstop flights to Nashville are back, plus it's Valentine's Day!
That means it's time to CELEBRATE and since it's Nashville, we have to have some music. The acoustic stylings of @bootjackduo will perform in the terminal from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to help us get in the mood.
Jen and John of Boot Jack Duo will play a mix of new and old country with a sprinkling of a little rock, too!
Oh, and we haven't forgotten the Valentine's part. Our friends at SSP America have baked up some Valentine's cookies we'll be giving away.
Sounds like a nice way to end the week.

For the third consecutive year, CID broke its annual passenger record!!
More than 1.3 million people chose to fly CID in 2019.
That number is 11.4 percent more than the previous annual passenger record set in 2018.
Two new nonstop destinations were added in 2019: Allegiant added nonstop service to Nashville (BNA) and American Airlines added nonstop service to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX).
CID is served by five airlines: American, Delta, United and two, low-cost carriers: Allegiant and Frontier.
Based on capacity projections for the next few months, CID looks to have another strong year. Capacity – the number of seats in the market – is up year-over-year for January by 18 percent, February is up 25 percent over February 2019 and March shows an increase of 17 percent over the same month last year.
Recent air service additions include American adding a third daily flight to Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) and a fourth daily flight to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) that will begin in May. Also in May, United Airlines is increasing the number of daily flights to Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) from five daily flights to seven. This will provide increased opportunities for people to connect through United’s main hub airport.
Airlines have their own staff and equipment to deice their aircraft. The airport handles runways and taxiways.
We know this can be frustrating and additional stress to travel.
Everyone is working hard to get flights out on time, but safety is No. 1.
We have tickets to Friday's men's Iowa basketball game versus Maryland. Tip off at Carver-Hawkeye Arena is 6 p.m.
To enter the giveaway let us know your favorite/best packing tip when you fly and tag a friend you would like to take a flight and visit.
Again, to enter - you must do both things listed above. Otherwise, your entry is not valid.
You must be able to pick up the tickets at the Information desk in the airport terminal. And, no previous winners, please.
Two winners will be chosen.
Winners will be announced here at 5 p.m. today, Jan. 9

And, one more shout out to this work of art done by Adam Kopfman of Tip Top Cakesandbakery.
I mean - come on. Everything you see on this cake, from the suitcases, to the lizard, to the rocks around the cactus (with the exception of our American/CID image) was edible.
It was almost to beautiful to cut. But, we did. And everyone who enjoyed piece of this tasty treat were delighted.

CID was honored to install this Hayden Herky statue in the terminal earlier this year. Just like Coach Fry, it is a one-of-a-kind.
If you are flying CID, stop upstairs & take a photo in tribute. #RIPCoachFry
