Even though Iowa City is a small midwestern town, it is easily reached by air. The Cedar Rapids Municipal Airport is served by several major airlines including American, Delta, Northwest, TWA, United, and USAir. The airport is located between Iowa City and Cedar Rapids, 20 miles from the workshop hotels.
Airport limousine service is available from Airport Express for about $20 one way. Call 1-800-351-5224 (or 319-358-8000) for reservations. When you call tell them you are part of the SIVE workshop. They'll usually have a driver in the arrival area holding a sign saying ``UI SIVE''. If they pick up multiple SIVE participants at once, the first person will be charged $20, while additional people will be $5 each (you'll have to fight this out among yourselves!). The trip takes 25 minutes.
Rental cars and taxis are also available.
