If there was a light rail to KCI, you'd have like 900 people per day using it based on the number of people who fly in and out. |

Then there was the SST supersonic flight. TWA and Pan Am had both committed to this new type of air travel and had been promised a hub of international flights centrally located in MidwestKC. The airport was approved and construction began on the three semi-circle terminals with three more down the road. Jimmy Carter and the oil embargo happened and the SST was abandoned in the US. KCI became a minor player and the failure of the SST along with bad management killed Pan AM and TWA. |
I'm pretty sure people in every city bitch about the location of their airport. If they're not bitching about how far out it is, they're bitching that it's too close and causes a lot of noise.

I remember as a kid growing up in KC North near the I-29 & I-35 split how eerily quiet it became with the grand opening of KCI and Municipal and Fairfax airport dwindling down to small private airplanes and commuter airlines. Its strange how you get accustomed to the noise then boom you have peace and quiet.

Sky Harbor practically splits the city in two. So even if you aren't going to the airport you kind of have to navigate around it. |

Coming in from the east, felt like I had to circle around about 3 times to get to arrivals and then get back on 202... felt like I was in a National Lampoon's movie, but may have missed a turn or two given shit moves fast and there are like 8 lanes. |

I don't really offer to drop off or pick anyone up, so whenever my wife is travelling and I offer to driver her she's like "where else you going?" and its always Phoenix City Grille haha But yeah if I'm going to Sky Harbor I'm packaging it with stopping by a couple other places to make it worth it |

The new terminal is far better for local travelers. |

This is a great point. Basically no matter where you are coming from it’s so easy to get there. There is very little variance or surprising traffic delays so if you get there in 30 minutes it’s basically always going to be 30 minutes. |
