The air travelers to Kansas City International will be treated to some of the most modern technology available at any airport in the United States.
Yes, there are plug-ins on the seats at the gates that allow you to charge your device and plug in your equipment, but there’s much more. In addition, for charging telephones there are a number of workstations throughout the airport that allow you to charge your device using special wireless charging pads.
In addition, there are some things we’ve grown to expect in other airports, but were missing in the city’s old 60’s-era terminal:
For your enjoyment, the terminal has television screens throughout the gate areas.
Moving sidewalks take you between the main terminal and concourse B
Another nice treat are the glass jet bridges used for boarding the plane. Instead of the closed in bridges, where all you can see is the head of the person in front of you. With these new glass bridges, boarders can enjoy a panoramic view of the airport and ground activities.
Spread out across the airport, there are a number of special rooms that provide services many travelers may not have even realized they needed.
These new charging mats, which don’t limit charging to the number of plugs, are available at workstations throughout the new KC airport terminal. 
Yes, the technology at the new KC airport terminal includes plugs at the seats in the gate areas, but the technology includes so much more.

Signage in the airport is also well thought out and helpful. Like this oversized sign you see as you take the escalator down to the baggage area that tells which way to go for your airline’s baggage claim carousels. Wow, no more trudging through baggage claim trying to figure out which one of the shoots your luggage will hopefully come out of. 
There are also signs displaying messages for travelers along side the arrival and departure information. 
KC Changes with the terminal’s restrooms are so unique, they earned their own separate article. But in the spirit of signage, we’ll share here that the bathroom stalls have red and green lights that tell you if a terminal stall is occupied (red light) or empty (green light). 
The ultimate technology surprise; there’s a totally automatic retail shop sponsored by Amazon in Concourse B40-69. No checkout and no cash accepted, but you must have a credit card to enter and yes your credit card gets charged.
