Pro Tips
- The new 2023 terminal is a revelation compared to the old MCI — enjoy the upgrade.
- Kansas City BBQ restaurants are near the airport — some of the best in the US, worth a meal before or after flying.
- Southwest is the dominant carrier; fares to many US cities are highly competitive.
- The airport is about 18 miles from downtown Kansas City — plan for 25–40 minutes by road.
- MCI doesn't have a direct rail link; rideshare is the most practical ground transport.
- The new terminal has much better food and retail than the previous terminals.
- Winter weather (ice storms, snow) can affect MCI significantly in January and February.
