If KC became a big hub, doubtful but let's say it did. It wouldn't really effect arrivals that much, right? Most of the hub traffic never leaves the airport. I guess a few extra travelers would find KC a better destination.

KC airport is like all the other Midwest cities. It’s a spoke on the hub.

Dallas Denver and Chicago are Hubs. KC like OKC and others isn nothing more than a spoke. I’m not even sure MCI has direct international flights?

Well that and being surrounded by the existing hubs of Denver, Dallas, and Chicago.

Every single car that has ever been made has won a JD Powers award. So yeah I don't put much stock in their rankings either.

But with that said, the airport is so much better than it used to be and it's not even close. Security lines aren't even that bad even without the individual lines at the gates. And basically a non issue with pre check.

I liked the old terminal because you could just show up and be on the plane in a few minutes but that became the strategy because of how little there was to do, or eat there. With this one, at least if you get there early you won't be bored out of your ****ing mind being stuck in the boarding area with nothing to eat and 10 people sitting on the floor taking turns charging their phones on one of the few outlets they have.

Why does it matter? There's still separate women/men's bathrooms. Hell I think they have bathrooms for service pets now too if you're feeling frisky.

Just wait until he figures out the bathroom on the airplane is gender neutral.

Well it is an international airport, do there's that, but it's a bit more like a participation award than a legit honor. The funny thing was the sell on this new facility was it was going to be the impetus behind great things for KC. LMAO

Well, at least we got gay-ready shitters to laugh about...

Hubs usually become host cities for meetings, but you're right, us becoming some decent level of a hub was a lie that people fell for.

Being too scared to leave your own home leaves you lots of time to follow me from thread to thread. :):)

The most logical reason for a gender neutral bathroom is giving a dad a chance to help out his poddy training young daughter or vice versa with a mother helping out her son, but I can assure you those weren't the reasons for spending taxpayer money to build one.

Hey I apologize and understand where you're coming from. I was trying to say on the things that are progressive, intending "forward thinking, positive changes", they've done a great job. I'm genuinely not trying to make light of anything related to different demographics of people or politics. In more direct terms, they've made the aesthetics and accessibility very good for all people, but on sheer functionality I don't think its a big step forward. I'll choose words that don't get associated with labels next time.

It cuts down on cost as they don't need as many stalls. Gendered bathrooms have to deal with one line being too long while the other gender may have empty stalls.

The good is we can get in and out and we have connections to major hubs for most flights.

BBQ restaurants and a Boulevard Beer Pub is about as local and authentic as it gets. DishonestChieffan strikes again.

The glass jetways are awesome!
The art sucks. We are the city of fountains so we made an electric one to represent the future but it already looks old and shitty. I bet the real reason it is designed without water is simply the cost.
The display about brutalist architecture is cool.
I prefer to spend as little time and money in a ****ing airport as possible, nothing about the place helps me.
