Done Deal

A series of meetings are being held in KCMO this week in regards to the airport redo.  Except it appears highly unlikely that a redo is in the making.  A new, single terminal plan, at a cost of a billion dollars or more is all but assured.  But not before the voters have a say...if you live in KCMO.  Look for the same approach by Sly and his pals on the council as they did with the earnings tax, encourage KCMO residents to vote yes, imply that many users are from outside KCMO and there will be no financing by "general taxpayer dollars".

I fly minimum twice a month, sometimes much more.  I fly through/to new airports as well as old (yes Newark and LaGuardia are 3rd world...actually that isn't fair to the third world, we recently were in backwater Cabo and they have a nice new airport).  My goal in flying is to get to KCI with minimum time prior to departure...land at my destination, escape quickly for my next stop.  Number 1 need, access to a bathroom.  No, I don't need a $4 water, golf shirt, pizza, or a rock hard scone.  Maybe the occasional traveler does.

One thing you might need is TSA Pre.  That 5 minute wait to go through security will be just a memory unless you pay up to be Pre.
