We're less than one week away from opening DSM's new Rental Car Center.

Beginning June 10, all rental car pickup and return services will move from the terminal to the new facility, located just a quick, free 4-minute shuttle ride away.

The new Rental Car Center is designed to make your rental car experience simple, convenient and efficient.

✈️ Throwback Thursday ☁️

As we prepare for our move to the new terminal, we've been uncovering pieces of DSM history along the way. Tucked inside a box of old photos were these incredible snapshots of a place many Iowans remember fondly ... the Cloud Room.

Located on the second floor of the original terminal, the Cloud Room wasn't just a restaurant. It was a destination. Families celebrated special occasions there, enjoyed dinner with a view, and watched airplanes take off through the large windows.

When we shared these photos, Terri immediately recognized the scene:

"Oh my gosh! I remember that entrance, and those chairs and booths! I do remember getting all dressed up because it was kind of a fancy place. We had to walk up a staircase. We always got the table by the big windows so that we could watch the airplanes take off while we ate our dinner. Then at the end, they would bring us a little cup of ice cream."

Stories like Terri's are a reminder that DSM has always been more than a place to catch a flight.

Do you remember dining in the Cloud Room? We'd love to hear your favorite memories in the comments. ❤️

Dear people parked at the curb waiting for a passenger whose plane is still taxiing... we need to talk. 😂

First, a huge THANK YOU to everyone using EZ-PICKUP! 🚗💨

You're helping keep traffic moving, reducing curbside congestion, and making arrivals smoother for everyone. We see you, and we appreciate you. 👏

Now, a friendly note to our 10 p.m.–midnight crowd... 👀

EZ-PICKUP isn't just for daytime travelers. It works after dark, too. In fact, those late-night arrivals are when it can make the biggest difference!

Remember: the curb is for active pickups, not extended stays. 😄

Let's keep traffic moving and make late-night arrivals easier for everyone. Thanks for doing your part to keep DSM flowing!
