Accommodations for Families in Kansas City
Currently, Kansas City International Airport is not among the airports with designated “Families On The Fly” lanes. However, a TSA representative stated that all Missouri airports are equipped to support families traveling with children under 12 and those with special needs, even if specific lanes are not available.
The TSA emphasizes the importance of arriving at the airport with ample time to spare. This allows families to navigate through security without undue stress. Families are encouraged to utilize the available assistance to ensure a smooth experience.
