It is a Big City

This is the KC Visitor Bureau web site for review of how to best get around the city and how to use the bus system, etc. This also includes mileage distances, which is helpful. Still the most expendient method is to have a car since so many sites are spread out, and distances far between.

Airport Semi Circles

The Airport is about 25 miles from downtown and 34 miles from the south where the Yuppies live; like me, but an old one. It only takes around 45 minutes to get to the airport, though. The parking is also very easy, and the best place is most likely in the Economy lot operated by the city. Price is right and easy to get to the terminals. They have 3 terminals, broken down into the airlines operating there. Read the directions carefully as to where to park and fly out of. Parking is $5.50 a day, and around $12 a day closer in to the terminals.

Park where designated-Westport

There are places in a parking garage about one block form the center intersection of Westport. They also have some surface parking, and street parking. The warning is make sure you do not go past the time limit on the street and some lots. That holds true for shops and designated bar parking, also. You get tickets and/or towed for a price that could hit $175 to get you vehicle back.
