What to know about Quad Cities airport travel during Memorial Day weekend

MOLINE, Ill. (KWQC) - The Quad Cities International Airport is expecting normal operations for Memorial Day weekend with good weather conditions, according to airport spokesperson Ashleigh Johnston.

“Typically Memorial Day weekend is the start of summer travel season,” Johnston said. “You don’t see quite the boom like you see for Thanksgiving where you have a really consolidated four or five days where people are traveling for a specific reason. So you’ll just start to see the start of summer kick off. But Memorial weekend should look relatively similar to a normal weekend here.”

Travelers should arrive at the airport at least 90 minutes before their flight and weigh checked bags to make sure they don’t exceed 50 pounds. The airport has a weigh station available for passengers who don’t have a scale at home.
