The departure street level was not crowded but the combination of the people walking across the street to the parking garage at arrivals and vehicles waiting for arrivals is kind of dangerous.

Heard the old terminal was built just before security ramped up decades ago, so the guy talking about showing up 20 mins before a flight was interesting to say the least.

I’ve never been to KC but I’ve heard that the old terminals go back to the early 1970s. They were laid out pretty bizarrely where due to the circular design there were multiple security checkpoints for each terminal. Essentially one checkpoint for every five or six gates, which is why what that man said might check out. But I’ve seen pictures of the inside of the old terminals and I have to say that they definitely needed to move out of that 1970s abomination. They probably had issues even before 9/11.

I fly from MCI often. The old terminal was so easy. Drop off curb walk 3 steps inside. Go 10 feet TSA then you are at gate. Amd let me say it’s crowded.

Plus, if everyone tried to get to the airport 20 minutes before departure, the scene would have been chaos at KCI. It is the most overstated point about the old terminals. They were easy and convenient because KCI was not a busy airport, not because of their design. That design saved people a few hundred steps, nothing else.

@@markb3806 not so. Most locals get dropped off 20-30 min before a flight. 2 steps to bag drop about 20 more feet to TSA. Then you are on top of the gate. It’s always been fast. I’ve never missed a flight.

@@malisac3869 Most locals don't. I don't. The reason you can get through in 20 minutes is because most locals don't arrive that close to their flight time. There are generally 175 passengers on a SW airlines 737. Most of those are at the gate by the time you arrive.
