Just wondered if anyone else thinks KCI is the worst airport terminal in the country? Honestly its' configuration was so screwed up I couldn't stand it.
Wait, I just flew out of Cincinatti last night, and thought it was the absolute worst airport ever. I flew out of the US airs terminal and it was beyond outdated. Very tight terminal, gates all close together, they didn't even have digital boards, 2 urinals in the bathroom (for an airport!), horrible lighting, and I could go on. I was surprised that terminal was in a major metro region's airport.
I like Cincy. City has character. Then flew into Charlotte..............................Don't get me started.
I think Kansas City is a highly underrated city.
It has as much history as Cincy or its cross-state neighbor St. Louis, unique identity (such as its fountains), cuisine (KC BBQ), and is probably the most significant contributor to jazz & blues music outside New Orleans and Chicago. It also has incredible, mostly unknown museums such as the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.

The Cincinnati airport's Concourse B (Terminal 3) which is used exclusively by Delta is much more spacious and modern than the cramped Terminal 2 which you were in.

It is underrated, Anthony Bourdain has been filming in KC all week and an all KC episode of No Reservations will be airing sometime this spring. That is a pretty high honor considering larger cities like Philly,Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, MSP, or St Louis have not had their own show. He loves the BBQ here
