Our ticketing terminal has multiple entrances from the curb and is where all airline check-in occurs. This terminal is considered the public side of the terminal. There is a gift shop, art gallery, rental car agencies, small observation platform, and passenger arrival waiting area in this terminal. Non-ticketed passengers are not allowed past the security checkpoint (some exceptions apply.) Once through the screening checkpoint, you reach the terminal concourses, A and B. 

The concourses are 5 years old. Concourse B opened in November of 2000 along with 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. Concourse A opened in summer of 2001. Once through screening turn left for concourse A for American, Delta, and Northwest gates. Turn right past screening for concourse B, including Northwest, United Express, and AirTran Airways gates. Click on terminal map below for an enlarged view of the terminal layout.
