Old design before the security requirements, not much for dining, but I can't complain because this is the easiest airport to maneuver. It is just for flights in and out. Glad for the short layovers and it's clean. I don't want to be in an airport all day!
I fly more than 50K miles a year. I don't eat in airports if I can avoid that. Any airport. Getting in and out of KCI is fantastic -- it is a smallish airport with convenient gates and a well-priced gas station in the rental car area. Like all smaller airports, it has fewer services than larger hubs where people spend more connection time between flights. They are building a new airport that will accommodate more services but I would expect that retail will still close early since there are few late flights and few customers.
Don't eat here. The design of this airport allows you to save an hour coming in and another hour going out, but does not allow for overpriced restaurants. That requires the long concourses that it doesn't have. If you are jonesing for a $60 cheese plate and $11 beer, make a day of it at your destination airport!
1st time thru here. It's the worst. Small bathrooms hard to find. No food options at all. Try to avoid this place.
Hang on help is on the way. To make certain visitors don't starve a 2 billion dollar airport is being built just for you.
Eat before you get here or prepare to leave the airport for anything above a hot dog. All food at the airport is disappointing. Also once you pass through security expect often long waits even in the mens room because of poor design and i assume a old design. This airport is well past time for a complete rebuild.
There is a full service gas station on site. They have larabars and mints
You're not wrong. I felt the same way.
Yeah, worst airport I've been to, avoid if you can, terrible food choices
Honestly - it IS dated but if you have time and are in the Southwest terminal, go to the Pork 'n Pickle. Good stuff.
There’s a lack of space to expand at our airport currently. Go to STL until we get our new terminal
Whatever you do, don't eat the premade sandwiches at the news stand which is pretty much the only option by the gate, unless you like throwing up and diarrhea. Don't ask how i know....
The airport has not been updated since the 70's.
Because it's the worst airport ever! Sorry you're hungry, ask the flight attendant for extra snacks.
The airport is suffering from personnel shortages, just like other businesses.
Lol it is a very small airport
This is a fabulously small airport with perks to match. It is an in and out airport. Grab your bag and go. Pack a granola bar, it would not cross my mind to judge an airport by its overpriced food. Ease of in and out is stress reducing.
Yeah we've had an airport held hostage by a group of people who travel very little and think the only part of an airport is the coming and going. They lack the understanding of what a decent airport means for a city, what it means for connections and what it means for destinations.
Its small but convenient and easy when it comes to travel. However we are halfway thru a whole new airport being built. Set to be completely in 2023.
I ' ve travelled extensively during my VP sales and Marketing career. KC is my favorite airport ever! In and out in no time. No overprice boutiques and restaurants. It does what it is supposed to do... Simple, effective, let you go in record time. Please don' t change anything! People also remember KC because of its great no non-sens airport!
There is no food except for bags of chip or M&Ms. Its 2PM and nothing opened.
Hold out for the new airport. Game changer
We were delayed here during the last snow event ... 6 hours then a canceled flight. Food choices were very limited. Don't go through security until you absolutely have to. Better to wait at the lounge with better chairs and a power source than be crammed in with no real food options. Easy airport to move through ... not so easy to get delayed at. Btw they stopped serving food between 6:30 and 7:30 ... employees gone at 7:30 regardless of flight delays.
KCI shuts down in that time frame unless there are delayed flights. They have arrivals up to midnight after that. If you want to dine...make earlier flight reservations
Omaha is just as bad.
