New KC Airport

Home now, just a quick out-on-Saturday, go to the game on Sunday, back-on-Monday trip.

It was also my first trip through Kansas City’s new airport. It’s wonderful and gorgeous!

The previous airport was built pre-9/11 and was very artsy and avante garde architecturally, but the need to put in security & TSA stations made it nearly impossible to actually function.

Many, many years and many billions of dollars later, the new airport opened up a year or so ago.

Tall ceilings, a ton of glass and natural light, plus artwork and sculptures everywhere, it’s highly functional, easy to get around, has a ton of space for now and for expansion.

Fancy, techno art.

Hanging, colorful, bubble-like art.

Lots and lots of gates – today I was at B66, which is waaaaay down there at the far end in the distance.

Lots of restaurants and shops, many of them selling Chiefs souveniers and gear, one or two selling Diet Coke instead of Pepsi. That’s the way to stick it to The Man!

There are so many excellent reasons to visit KC – pick one and go see the airport as well!
