KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from Oakland 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.
