Arriving at the Cedar Rapids Airport??

Guests may also travel to Heartland via the Eastern Iowa Airport, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa (CID), approximately 60 minutes from Waterloo. CID offers several additional service connections, may allow additional discount fares, is fully wheelchair accessible, and hosts several major airlines.

Due to insurance restrictions, however, Heartland is prevented from allowing VGM employees to shuttle Heartland guests to and from Waterloo. We regret the inconvenience. We will continue to greet our Heartland guests at the Cedar Rapids baggage claim for most incoming flights, and assist them with any transportation concerns.

Heartland guests should secure transportation arrangements directly with the carrier. Three options are available:

1. PRE-ARRANGED SHUTTLE SERVICE (Guests are personally met at CID baggage claim)
