Kansas City Airport’s new terminal is prepping for the holidays

Kansas City International Airport is gearing up for the annual holiday rush. 

This time will be different as this year’s Thanksgiving and Christmas travel period will be the first in KCI’s new terminal. 

Spokesman Joe McBride says he and his staff are excited…“The whole experience is prepare, take time, educate, and if everybody’s doing that, maybe it’s going to run like clockwork, and I sure hope it does, as we have these first holidays in our new shiny Kansas City International Airport.”

He expects near-record passenger numbers and advises travelers to arrive at least two hours before domestic flights and at least two-and-a-half hours before international flights.
