Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

The Blue Bus will still serve economy parking, and KCI officials said buses will pick up at shuttle stops every 20 minutes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Uh, could we change that to 10-minute headways during rush periods?

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

Such a BS excuse, just because they are used to breaking the rules... people in KC are such entitled A holes when it comes to parking. I see people in KC parked in handicap spots at QT almost daily, i see 10s of cars just left in loading zones every day downtown, people park across the sidewalks, t...

Re: Downtown Baseball Stadium

Would a stadium fit in the space between 6th, Baltimore, 8th, and Central?

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

Can we get an announcement saying, "The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone."?

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

I remember flying out of RSW in the 90s, before the new terminal was built in 2005, and they only allowed checked-in passengers past security even before 9/11 -- not for security reasons, but for space. The concourses were too crowded to let anyone pas security who wasn't flying. If you're picking u...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

Holy moly, those Soiree prices... I mean, I'm sure it's good food and a step up from breakfast at First Watch or a steak at Longhorn or whatever, but $25.30 for chicken and waffles? $16.10 for kids mac and cheese?

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

I noticed Google Maps still has the outline of Terminal A when you zoom in. Kind of annoying, because I'm sure the aviation department got them everything they need for a detailed model of the new terminal, but I'm sure it'll get updated eventually. Not to drag crap from other parts of the internet...

Re: KCI Flight Schedule Adjustments

Which local corporations are going to drive TATL demand? Garmin? I think Cerner's out now that they've been absorbed by Oracle. H&R Block doesn't do business in Europe. Hallmark? I can't really think of major employers here that would drive ticket sales for a flight to Europe. St. Louis has Mons...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

The security checkpoint area seemed plenty big in person. I'm guessing they'll have the little retractable barrier maze in the ticketing hall, but the actual screening area appears to have more than enough space. It'll come down to how well they can (or choose to) staff it during peak demand. One th...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

Someone posted a photo of the new inductive charging pads for the Blue Bus to economy parking. Have we seen those buses? Are they fully electric, or is this more of a plug-in hybrid situation where it picks up a little juice while loading and unloading people?

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

The concourses seem plenty wide to me, at least on par with Southwest Florida's new terminal from 2005. When I think "cramped and claustrophobic," I think of the A through D concourses in Atlanta, especially D. Much lower ceilings, narrower corridors and hold rooms, no windows over the cor...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

Pretty comprehensive video of new terminal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXe4-r409rI If I can be super nitpicky, the graphic designer in me winced to see how they stretched some of the airline logos on the screen for the multi-carrier check-in kiosk. Hopefully someone goes back and fixes it once...

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

Speaking of a potential APM and new economy lot, are there any preliminary plans or documents that might show where the APM would go?

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

I'm glad they released the details for economy lot parking. Hopefully having only one pickup and dropoff point at the new terminal means they can run more buses more often, especially if they stick with the existing short buses. If we end up not getting a people mover, can we at least get a bendy bus?

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

With the opening announcement, it's time to get some ground transportation details out there for everybody. As the "KC guy" I've already fielded more than my fair share of "how will this work" uber, buses for economy lots, if I parked in old lots and land when new terminal open,...

That terracotta would have been a great addition to the City Museum's collection of lost architectural details.

Re: OFFICIAL - New KCI Terminal

Maybe the real terrazzo medallions were the friends we made along the way.
