In many cases, I’ll slip outside security and blow up the bathrooms in baggage claim or up in some 3rd level obscure loge/office level floor outside security... squirt in peace and KCM my happy ass right back into the terminal.

This method works great for the Starbucks line too! Post-poo of course.

I call this “The Kansas City Maneuver”

MCI - worst bathroom situation in CONUS. Four stalls to service 15 gates. Genius. I love the bathroom that you have to cut through the Starbucks line to wait outside in line to wait inside in line to find a giant pile of poo clogged in one stall and the other one occupied by a little kid grunting at the top of his lungs. There is invariably pee all over the floor within 4 feet of any urinal or stall and no room to even turn around. Forget bringing your bag in there.

So true. I hate going to a restaurant and seeing one of the cooks leave the stall after dropping a stinky load and then head to the kitchen without washing his hands. So many places I don’t go to after seeing that.

At least the KCMO voters approved an entirely new conventional design terminal to replace everything. In design phase. To be opened in 3 years or so. Keep your fingers crossed.

The current 3 horseshoe shaped terminals were built before any security screening existed. It is too narrow to have groups of screening and a wide area for people to walk, adequate restrooms, places to eat, etc. like DFW. TWA wanted them to fix it, they didn’t, so TWA moved its hub to STL. It left MCI with Braniff as a hub. Braniff went out of business. So, no hub. Southwest has grown to be the largest carrier at MCI. It had finally got so painful the airlines and the city decided to do something about it. . .after 50 years.

Vegas has some deep stalls, works great for your roller bags. Go to the C or A gates if you want some peace and quiet after about 10PM.

Too bad you missed MKC, a real treasure. I believe the poopatorium was built over the river.:eek

Yeah, Lewis & Clark were in kind of a hurry, but it was beefed up later for the Oregon Trail traffic. :D

I remember as a kid seeing my great aunt off at MKC. Those Connies were so cool. Like landing in a tea cup. Briarcliff on the north end and just to the east of the south end, a mile away was downtown with 30 story buildings.

The old TWA overhaul base was across the river at the Fairfax airport (it is no more) in Kansas City, Kansas. July 1951 the great Kaw River flood backed up the Missouri River. Fairfax was completely under water.

They decided to build a runway and overhaul base at what is now MCI. It was opened for overhaul in 1956. Then the passenger service and terminals were built and opened in 1972. At that time MKC became GA.
