Kansas City International Airport is located about 20 miles northwest of
the central part of Kansas City, in Missouri, United States.
MCI terminals have a unique structure comprising 3 terminals ring-shaped.
Each ring has short term parking in the center. Thus, it is possible to park,
walk less than a hundred feet, and go directly to your gate. Arriving
travelers can leave their gate, and walk immediately out of the terminal. The
Kansas City Airport also has several off site airport parking facilities.
Slogans at the time of the bond issue were "The world's shortest walk to fly"
and "Drive to your gate."
Kansas City and the airlines have opted against any "people movers"
connecting the three rings. Instead frequent buses take passengers around the
rings. That transportation is now free.
