KCI heralds nonstop service to nondescript Midwestern city

Attention, world travelers! Kansas City International Airport now offers daily nonstop service to another city bisected by Interstate 70.

Making the dreams of adventurers come true, a Frontier Airlines jet left KCI on Monday evening bound for Columbus, Ohio.

Frontier and KCI officials cut a ribbon at Terminal C before the 99-seat aircraft began accepting passengers. Columbus is not a destination that lends itself to easy prop-mastery (fake palm trees, Mardi Gras beads, Statute of Liberty crowns made of foam). The celebration consisted of a novelty pair of scissors and some chocolate chip cookies.
