<p>We're hoping to do a visit to Iowa in mid May, and I really need help with traveling up there.</p>

<p>We're in the deep south, and there are no direct flights there, and I'm having trouble finding regular size planes that fly into Cedar Rapids airport.</p>

<p>Are there any nearby, two hours drive or less, airports that take regular size planes?</p>

<p>It doesn't have to be 737, but something that would have overhead storage space would be nice. </p>

<p>Since we're traveling from so far, I'd like to not check all of our bags.</p>

<p>One option would be to fly into Des Moines. It is an easy 1:50 drive to Iowa City along Interstate 80. Enjoy your trip!</p>

<p>My son is a junior at U of I and we live in South Texas. Flying to Cedar Rapids is very pricey. We fly to Chicago, then take a small plane to Quad City Airport in Moline, IL and then rent a car and drive the hour to IC. Good Luck.</p>
