- MLI Airport Overview
The Quad City International Airport MLI is located in the northwest part of the State of Illinois and serves travelers throughout Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois due to its strategical location not only to the cities of Bettendorf, Moline, Rock Island and Davenport, but also to the Iowa border. Multiple Highways lead to these cities and to the airport, particularly I-80 and I-280. Currently four major airlines offer nonstop flights to eight major hubs around the counry, with connections worldwide. AirTran Airways, a low-cost carrier, offers frequent airfare sales to over 50 cities via the Atlanta hub. The Passenger terminal offers the following amenities: Wi-Fi internet throughout, new work stations at post-security Concourse B, a members-only business center 'Destination Points' to the right of Concourse B, a chair massage 'Touch & Go', a Paradise gift shop, a restaurant/lounge, snack bar and caffee, baggage carts and sky caps, vending and ATM machines, rental cars, mailboxes, shoeshine and a Visitor Center.
The inside and outside pick-up and drop-off lanes are open for attended cars only--you may pick up/drop off passengers there during a short grace period, but you must stay with your vehicle at all times. The Airport offers short- and long-term parking and you can park in either lot. There are multiple Long-Term parking entrances as you follow the frontage road in from the interstate, or airport road, but there is only one Short-Term parking lot entrance which may be accessed from the left lanes as you approach the terminal building. If you miss the Short-Term entrances, you must circle around the frontage road again. Follow signs to 'return to terminal'.
Taxis may be available in designated parking stalls outside of Exit 7 or they can be contacted by using the phone board at the baggage claim area, which shows the complimentary two-digit phone number for rates and services. MetroLINK Route 20 bus-- the '20 blue' stops in front of the terminal twice an hour, 10 and 40 mins after the hour, Mon-Fri 6:10am-6:10pm, and Saturdays 8:40am-6:10pm.
- Main Terminal / Concourses at Quad City MLI Airport
The ticketing terminal has multiple entrances from the curb and is considered the public side of the passenger terminal. It houses a gift shop, an art gallery, rental car agency counters, a small observation platform, and a passenger arrival waiting area. Non-ticketed passengers are not allowed past the security checkpoint (some exceptions apply). Once through the screening checkpoint, you reach the terminal's concourses, A and B.
The concourses are fairly new. Concourse B has a large atrium area containing a terrazzo floor (designed as a birds-eye view of the Quad Cities), a deli/snack bar, bar, and CNBC gift shop. Once through screening, turn left for concourse A for American, Delta, and Northwest gates and turn right past screening for concourse B, for Northwest, United Express, and AirTran Airways gates.
