Getting to school and back can be a challenge for many University of Iowa students. When driving isn’t possible, there are other alternatives. Below is a listing. (Remember that sharing rides is a great option—if someone else from your area has a University of Iowa student, taking turns driving them to and from school helps reduce the number of trips and can be a good way to get to know other University students.)
- The Eastern Iowa
Airport is served by American Airlines (www.aa.com), American Trans
Air (www.ata.com), Delta (www.delta.com), Northwest Airlines
(www.nwa.com), and United Airlines (www.united.com). The airport is
about a 30-minute drive from Iowa City.
- Shuttle service
is offered by Airport Shuttle Service (800-634-4242) and Airport Super
