QC Airport - MLI

The Quad City International Airport in Moline, Illinois is the only major airport along the Mississippi River. MLI is located six miles from our Bettendorf home base, across the river into southern Moline. With the charters running on strict deadlines, we recommend you make air travel reservations to arrive in the QC the day before our charter departure and make your flight reservations for the following day after your tour across Iowa. We had several guests who were stranded in Dallas, Atlanta and Denver in previous years due to flight cancellations and pilots being unavailable. These folks had to find alternative measures to get to the start of RAGBRAI. Please take the worry out and book your flights into the QC an extra day ahead.

The Quad Cities Bicycle Club always conducts an Iowa riverfront ride on that Friday morning before our departure and would love to have you join us. Our host hotel is located right on the Mississippi River Trail making it an ease to explore the entire Quad Cities by our fantastic bicycle infrastructure.

We do not provide a shuttle service to/from the airport but there is Uber available here in the Quad Cities.
