As the government shutdown continues, travelers in Kansas City may face longer wait times at airport security due to staffing shortages. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers are working without pay, which can slow down operations. Travelers flying out of Kansas City International Airport (MCI) can check wait times using the My TSA App or On Air Parking website. Flight status can be monitored on flykc.com or FlightAware, and airlines typically rebook for free if a flight is canceled. MCI offers various parking options and services for travelers, with on-site assistance available by calling 816-243-5870.
