Flights to Independence: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew to Independence

That you don't get much help making connections to a domestic flight after an international flight in Philadelphia. At least that was our experience. Get assurance your bags have been loaded. Or bring a carry on bag rather than book your luggage. Maybe Philadelphia is just a confusing airport, I don't know, but most trouble we've ever had.

MCI in Kansas City, MO, is easy to navigate, and staff is friendly and ready to assist, if needed. I suggest that people arrive early and watch for updates. Having the app made it easy to keep up with gate changes.

TSA lines in Seattle can get very long early in the day. Also, plan to return your rental car early since you have to take a shuttle bus to the terminal and those lines can get long early in the day, too. Currently there is construction in the North Terminal, so be prepared for moving around barriers. The day I flew out, the escalators were not working.

The car rental bus at KC airport is located at the 2nd drive from the exit doors of the luggage pickup area. Just walk through the doors, across the first driveway through to the pickup island. You should see the bus to your left. This is also the area the Uber drivers pickup.

None for this leg. But it seems the earlier the better for seating. The flight is usually not filled to capacity, so you can usually get an aisle or window seat fairly easy.

On any flight, check in 24 hours before departure. Make sure you take snacks
