In this thread...hillbillys who don't understand how terrible our crumbling shit house airport was.

The only thing I will miss is those set of chairs that were tucked away in a small alcove (landside) that guaranteed no one would sit next to you.

ROFL

They should have a room where you can practice joining the Mile High Club.

What sort of weirdos like to hang around in airports? They are the modern day Greyhound and Continental Trailways bus terminals.

Give the new airport 10 years and it will be a rundown shithole like everything KC maintains. Any bet on how long those bars and restaurants last?

Every time I fly into Las Vegas airport I get to see the very beautiful artwork(pictured). KC could adapt to something similar.

TBH, I wasn't impressed with the Vegas airport. Yeah, they had slot machines but the food/beverage options were lame. I expected something better.

Agreed. There are a few hidden gems but most are left to be desired.

Guessing there's great BBQ at the KC airport?

The video of the new terminal showed Meat Mitch which I believe is in Leawood by one of the Char Bar partners.

I have not had and have never been super high on Char Bar but probably pretty legit for airport BBQ.

I'm gonna make max use out of the sensory room experience. Aaron Rodgers might fly in just for that.

Flying out of the old, but will return to the new.. Interdasting...

(I also watch videos at 1.5-2x speed depending on how fast they talk)

My out of towner crybaby story was when I flew into KC and didn't have Uber or Lyft downloaded on my phone, so while it was taking forever to download, I called the main number for a taxi and they said I had to call from an inside phone. I told them I was like 10fl feet from an inside phone and they said they needed me to call from an inside phone so they knew where I was calling from, so I looked up and told them which door I was at and they insisted I called from an inside phone... so my download was about finished so I told him nevermind I'll get a Lyft.

So, thanks for spending those millions in tax dollars or whatever so I can get a Lyft. :D

So really, your story has nothing to do with the airport but rather your lack of preparedness in making sure you had the apps you would need downloaded before you left home?

*your lack of preparedness in traveling back in time a decade to when airports didn't have Uber/Lyft/Taxi stands.

KCI is super convenient, you're just steps from being outside, where you can then call someone to drive 30+ minutes to pick you up!

It's never about "art vs. no art" or "art vs. pot holes or homeless", it's about "quality work vs. quackery". I won't try to decide that here from pictures, I just hope these turn out to be of greater quality and interest than the old "oil running down the string" piece at the old Blue Ridge Mall.
