Conquering MCI: A Hilarious Guide to Navigating Kansas City's Airport Terminals (There's, Like, One Now)
So, you're headed to Kansas City for some barbecue, jazz, and, of course, navigating a confusing airport with a million terminals, right? Wrong! Buckle up, buttercup, because Kansas City International Airport (MCI for those in the know, and definitely not for those who think it stands for "Massive Confusion Incorporated") has undergone a dramatic transformation.
The Great Terminal Consolidation: From Three to One (and Counting...Gates?)
Gone are the days of frantic sprints between Terminal A, B, and C, desperately searching for your gate while simultaneously questioning your life choices that led you to an airport with more alphabets than a kindergarten spelling bee. MCI has shed its multi-terminal madness and emerged, phoenix-like (but hopefully with less fire), as a singular terminal.
Yes, you read that right. One. Terminal. Singular.
Now, before you start picturing a crowded cattle call with hangry passengers wrestling over armrests, fear not! This single terminal boasts two spacious concourses, A and B, offering a combined 40 gates. That's enough room for all your domestic adventures (and maybe even a surprise international escapade, but we won't spoil the surprise).
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
Concourse Connoisseurs: A Breakdown of A and B
- Concourse A: This is your home for gates A1 to A20, perfect for those who like their alphabet in the early stages.
- Concourse B: Calling all thrill-seekers! Concourse B takes things up a notch with gates B40 to B69. No judgment here, but maybe pack a good book for this slightly longer concourse.

Getting around MCI is a breeze compared to its multi-terminal past. The walk between concourses is a breeze (literally, there's a handy walkway), and there's even a moving walkway for those who like to travel in style (or are just really impatient). Plus, with only one security checkpoint, you can ditch the frantic terminal hopping and focus on the important things, like strategizing which barbecue joint to hit first upon landing.
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
