Flying out of Kansas City means I am on Southwest quite often. They seem to have the most direct flights to the places I need to go. Other airlines don’t have as many gates or the traffic that Southwest does. There are few options for food and drink if you get stuck behind security in their area due to a flight delay. Even fewer options exist in other areas of the airport. Security at KCI does not work like it does at most airports. KCI does not have one main security line for all passengers. It’s divided up in sections, per airline for the most part. Fortunately, security lines are generally pretty short. If you want to grab a bite to eat outside of security you don’t have to worry about being stuck in a long line to get to your gate. Still keep track of time though.
