For all of the talk about it not costing taxpayers anything...no one mentions how much air fares will go up if a new airport is built.
Say goodbye to any decent airfares....expect 50% or more increases in ticket prices because the airlines have to recoup their investment. That is a lot to pay for a few more overpriced restaurants and a bar.

This post is just ****ing ignorant. How often do you travel. I use the airport 50 weeks a year and it’s the worst in the country outside of maybe LaGuardia. It’s a horrid first impression to what’s becoming a fine city. The airport is an outdated, logistical nightmare of a pile of shit.
My colleagues in Denver and Dallas pay far cheaper fares flying out of Denver or Love Field. The airlines have already stated that fares will not increase. It’s damn near impossible for me to get a direct flight to anywhere from KCI currently. There are More TSA staff at KCI than at JFK or Atlanta...fare prices may actually DECREASE when you don’t have to man 30 security checkpoints. Stop vomiting bullshit.
