Top tips for finding a cheap flight from OAK to Kansas City

  • Possible stopovers between Oakland International Airport (OAK) and Kansas City International Airport (MCI) include Long Beach Airport (LGB), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). Spirit and Frontier Airlines can have two: LAS and Denver International Airport (DEN).
  • Suppose a smaller, easier-to-navigate terminal is more convenient for you. Starting your journey from Oakland international airport (OAK) instead of the nearby San Francisco Airport (SFO) is worth it. At OAK, you will find budget-friendly airlines like Southwest and internationally renowned carriers like Alaska and Delta.
  • When traveling as a family with lots of luggage, use an airline with a favorable baggage policy like Southwest. Each passenger is entitled to two free checked bags (max weight 50 lbs and size 62”). They don’t charge baggage fees for a baby stroller or car seat, which is a relief for mothers. Snowboards weighing less than 50 lbs do not count against the carry-on baggage allowance.
  • Travel hassle-free and save time at the airport with Spirit Airlines online check-in. Download and print your boarding pass earlier. Once you arrive at OAK airport, use the self-service check-in desk, or seek assistance from their customer service agents.
  • Ensure safe travel for your minors by booking a flight with a kid-friendly carrier like Delta Air Lines, which charges a fixed fee for up to four kids aged 5-14. The service is optional for 15 to 17-year-olds. The airline staff escorts unaccompanied minors onto the aircraft during pre-boarding and gives them barcoded wristbands, SkyKids video games, and snacks to make their trip safe and comfortable. Once they arrive at MCI, they hand off your child to the person receiving them, who must show their photo ID.

There was a loud squeaky sound the whole time we were flying.

6.0 GoodEliza, Apr 2024SAN - LAX
Read more about Delta reviews

There was a loud squeaky sound the whole time we were flying.

On 2 different flights the wifi was horrible and there was no drink or snack service.

I didn’t not like that I could not select my seat and ended up with the worse seat.

The landing was bad and the hostess came two times and i was sleeping but when she served the person that nexts to me I woke up and she didn’t even asked me if I need any drink or snacks two times!!!!

Plane was late because of a mechanical malfunction and the food listed as available was not. Flight attendants seem over worked and under paid. They just done seem happy. And that can be seen in their faces.

Waited 3 hours on a plane to de-ice due to manpower issues. Waited another hour and a half once we landed because of a gate issue. Missed my connections. Created. A total of 13 hours of delay.

There was no FREE wi-fi nor entertainment screens at all.

Great, on time departure, friendly and accommodating crew, great leg room, Smith flight

Plane was turned around due to fog half way into the flight, Delta did not properly direct passengers to stay on same flight and instead failed to properly rebook on Alaska

Like most domestic flights in the US, you are basically on your own with this airline when it comes to food, so be sure to purchase meals and drinks ahead of time or expect to arrive starving and dehydrated (like I was).

what I like about Spirit is that the pilot and crew are good communicators. The plane itself - well, its a budget airline and you get what is expected, But I generally just feel safer, somehow, when I know more about what is going on - and Spirit has always done a good job of telling me what is going on: why the delay, why the turbulence, why this and that... and that means a lot to me.

I paid just under 200 for flight and luggage, then paid 200 to change the flight, then paid 100 for a carry on. Then the cancelled the flight. Of the 500 I spent they refunded 250. I bought a delta flight for 270 never flew with spirit, but spirit kept 250, not even refunding the 100 for the carry on though they cancelled the flight (for weather on a day with only a slight rain ).

Flight was canceled. Knew there was weather, and were notified of 20 min delayed, and then suddenly canceled. Next reschedule was for 2 days. No help other than to refund. Thankfully full refund and appreciate that. I appreciate discounted airline but felt they could've done more for customer inconvenience.

Flying on Spirit Airline is a penny-pinching beat down.

Kayak does not know that spirit airlines charged me $70 to fly. But the bag check-in was $89 each way. This is false advertising to lure people. Spirit airlines sends bunch of emails after flight purchases to buy wifi, better seats, priority boarding, secure reserved seats. This is false advertising. Up front pricing. I would of flown jet blue or Alaska airlines.

One hour late taking off. Concerning, very hard landing. Uncomfortable seats with no recline. Extremely slow baggage claim. Very professional, knowledgeable flight attendants. Brand new, very clean plane.

Can’t say there was anything I particularly liked. Seats were very tight, leather wrapped plastic. I followed up a much longer and cheaper trip from Honolulu on southwest, everything was phenomenal, this flight was the exact opposite. Blows my mind they charge for water of all things. One of the attendants seemed very rude, I watched a taller gentleman a couple rows forward with his knees pressed into the back of the seat ahead, while the woman in that seat leaned forward the entire flight, I’m sure because she could feel his knees. I’ll be avoiding spirit like the plague from here forward.

Didn’t make the connecting flight due to a delay on our first flight.

I felt scam to have to pay $50 additional for my carry on luggage which was free for my other airline.

Enjoyed the experience, on time flights, friendly staff the WiFi was intros d kept cutting out.
