Editorial snapshot
Flying to Kansas City suits the traveller who is tired of being told what to like. Fares from major US hubs are competitive, especially on Southwest, and the new MCI terminal makes the arrival experience genuinely pleasant. Book domestic routes 3 to 6 weeks out for the best prices; avoid the weeks surrounding Chiefs home playoff games, when both flights and hotels spike sharply.

Kansas City International opened a brand-new single-terminal facility in February 2023, replacing the outdated three-terminal layout that had frustrated travellers for decades. The new terminal consolidates all airlines under one roof, with a clear security checkpoint layout and a noticeably better food and retail offering than its predecessor. Southwest, United, American, and Delta are the dominant carriers, with most gates clustered efficiently around a central concourse.
