I like being comfortable at airports, in flip-flops with no jewelry on.
There are a lot of folks out there that love the convenience of the Kansas City airport. That's one of the biggest things it's got going for it.
All the airports kind of feel and look the same now. Some are more beautiful, some are less beautiful, but for the most part you're going to find a Starbucks in every airport. You're going to get your coffee and the 'USA Today' or 'New York Times' in every airport.
The problem with airports is that we go there when we need to catch a plane - and because it's so difficult to find the way to the gate, we tend not to look around at our surroundings.
I've never missed a flight. And I don't see any reason in cutting it close because airports are pleasurable for me: You can go to the restaurant, get a massage, browse books, sit at a bar, check emails.
Modern air travel means less time spent in transit. That time is now spent in transit lounges.
I always like to arrive at the airport early to enjoy breakfast and lounge about so that when I get on the plane all my travel fever has disappeared.
My one guilty pleasure is, every airport, I will drop everything to get an airport massage at those kiosks.
Kansas City is one of the most convenient airports in the nation.
Most of the time, I am quite familiar with the airports from which and to which I am traveling, and I know what I can eat there. If there is any doubt, I make sure I have something in my bag. A must-have for me is pre-measured protein powder in small Ziploc bags along with a shaker cup.
