I guess not everyone can get new digs like stud #WichitaThingsIf you live in KC and travel weekly, like me, it's the best airport in the world. Easiest in and out in the country, IMO.Yup, I can literally show up in the economy lot 30 minutes before my flight left, chase down a bus, get into B terminal and through security like a boss right at last call with 10 minutes to spare. Name another airport of similar size you can do that in. Don't recommend doing that FWIW but still, would never happen anywhere else. Not disagreeing that the airport itself if kind of a POS, but so few people actually connect through it relative to those going in and out. If you want to piss 'clams off properly extend the streetcar down to the plaza TIA.

Airports are probably viewed differently by locals that have to use them to fly out vs. organizations that need to fly people in.
oh man this is classic clams...full of all kinds of fun misinformationQuote from: pissclams on November 11, 2016, 10:07:28 AMlike i said, there's nothing to addressand who cares about interest rates, it's not our money - remember?The bill becomes higher to airlines, they are less likely to back the debt. On top of that, nobody has ever said fees (landing, parking, etc) paid by travelers wouldn't be used as part of the funding....Quoteand who cares about the sewer problem, we have a streetcar.The sewer problem is already in year 5 of being fixed...someone so worried about the sewers, I figured you'd know that.Quote the taxes raised from the new businesses developed along the streetcar line should offset the cost of the airport and the sewer line, right?airport can't be paid with taxes from new businesses, sewer replacement is funded by user fees so yes more development helps that funding.Quote oh, what's that? we TIF'd the development along the streetcar line? sewer fees aren't part of a TIF....taxes that are TIF'd can't be used for airports.well the new hotel we are paying for will bring in new conventions to KC and those dollars will help offset the costs. except our cost per conventioneer are higher than other cities b/c we signed a sweetheart deal with hyatt awarding them all the banquet business and we're not competitive vs other cities?

Southwest said that’s why it’s adding flights in St. Louis, even though it’s much cheaper to fly out of Kansas City (about $7.50 per passenger vs. $15 per passenger in St. Louis).“Southwest purposely does not connect passengers through MCI (KCI) like we do at St. Louis,” Southwest director of airport affairs Steve Sisneros told the City Council. “We purposely throttle down MCI because the connecting experience is so bad.”
Oh you meant losing potential flights, not actual existing ones. ok
