KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Anyone flying out of Kansas City within the next few days is likely to be leaving out of an old terminal and returning to the new one.
How do passengers expect to adjust to the move?
The Dicus family plan to tour the new terminal by themselves after their Washington, D.C., flight lands next week.
“We’re very excited,” Kai Dicus said. “I’ve heard some great things about it, and we're definitely going to take the tour around just scope it out. I’m excited about what they put in here that represents Kansas City.”
Traveler Nan Shaffer decided to shorten their trip to ensure one final flight experience at the old terminal, which will be demolished once the new terminal opens.
“I was a little afraid of coming on the first day and a new terminal might be a little chaotic,” Shaffer said. "I have another trip coming up in another month and a half, so I will get a chance to be in the new terminal soon.”
KCI spokesperson Justin Meyer tells KSHB 41 airport staff will be on hand to help travelers find their luggage and navigate through the new terminal.
The airport will also offer the red bus service from the new terminal over to Terminal B and C garages and circle parking. Services will run until the old lots are vacant.
Signage will also be installed to help travelers find their cars and virtual videos made by FlyKC will help folks become familiar with the new terminal.
