New KCI Insults 2023 Holiday Travelers

It's important to unpack propaganda from the new airport this season . . . Here's the company line that should be reexamined: 

NEW KCI CAST BLAME ON TRAVELERS FOR ANY 2023 HOLIDAY RUSH INCONVENIENCE!!!

Consider . . .

The cell phone lot waiting game strategy isn't just a slap in the face to locals and tacit admission of poor design . . . It's an old bait & switch tactic that was effectively deployed against low-info voters during an election when local media refused to ask tough questions from elected officials and there wasn't much explanation of misleading 3d models. 

Even worse . . .

New KCI working without a dedicated pedestrian walkway from the parking lot to the terminal is nearly criminal. 

Insiders told us that they shared their concerns but "rising costs" silenced any questions.

And so . . . 

We're left with an airport that has decent food options but limited accessibility and requires a small army of crossing guards to maintain order. 

To be fair . . . Here's a more optimistic appraisal . . .

"KCI officials said the Aviation Department estimates more than 410,000 travelers will arrive and depart from the airport. That number is 24 percent busier than 2022.

"Officials also said the department expects the busiest travel days to be December 21, 22, 28 and 29.

Passengers are encouraged to use FlyKC.com to check flight statuses and check in online . . ."
