It has 3 terminals, so you basically get off the plane walk 20 steps to get out of the secure area and another 10-20 yards to get your luggage and then out the doors that are right there.
I flew this summer from MCI to ONT, LAX (prefer the ONT airport!) and Denver. All on dog business. I was told about express jet by scrapindee and just loved the experience. They were very reasonable rates, served food, allowed dogs ($50 for in cabin)

Tornados are really not a problem. They do not strike the whole state like a hurricane would. They are very spotty and usually just during the spring. We almost always have warning.

There are many great museums in the KC area. Truman Library and Steamboat Arabia, but I don't know how dog friendly. There is a new shopping area on the east side of KC not too far from Overland Park. It is called the Legends. It is an outdoor mall, so if it is very hot you may want to do one of the indoor malls.

By the way, I plan on being there with at least on Biewer for those of you that would like to see and experience one of these wonderful yorkies.

So excited to meet some of you. The YTers I have met so far have been SUPER!!!

oh, I love Biewers and got to see them finally when I attended the YT fair in MI . . so I will definitely be seeking you out hope that is okay
