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.

There was plenty of overhead room but half of the passengers were told they had to check their carryon bags. My partner and I checked in as early as possible and our seats were split across the aisle.

There was plenty of overhead room but half of the passengers were told they had to check their carryon bags. My partner and I checked in as early as possible and our seats were split across the aisle.

Flew first class so everything was great. But maybe because the flights were red eye, no meals were served, just chips. I flew Alaska Air 1st class at 9PM (2 hour flight) and they served beef short rib sliders!

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

My flight was uncomfortable and crammed. There were no pockets to store things, I couldn’t move my seat back slightly. Beverages including soda cost extra. My husband flew on another spirit airline flight, which was delayed a total of 48 hours, only to be canceled.

Flight was canceled less than 6 hours before takeoff, rebooked on a flight that was twice as long and left earlier so we couldn’t make it, when using text support option took over 2 hours to speak with someone.

Terrible legroom, seats do not recline, tray table the size of an iPhone, delayed flight, have to pay 5$ to get a cup of water onboard.

The crew was the best and very accommodating I know you don't offer any complimentary items but water and coffee will not break the bank !!

My mother was HARASSED AND ACCOSTED by the gate agent for her bag. I pre purchased the bag fee and the gate agent made my 78 year old mother board, deplane, re pay for her bag fee and board again. The gate agent made my mother pick up her own bag and REFUSED to help her, she is an older woman who wasn’t bothering anyone on a flight that had maybe 30’total passengers. I am going to sue this airlines for their HORRIBLE customer service and treatment of my mother, and all this occurred the day after Mother’s Day!!!

Horrible, first flight delayed. They switched my connecting flight while I was en route and even though I was originally supposed to be on the flight going back home to boston, refused to let me board and told me I would have to wait for next flight that was 14 hours later. Ended up renting a car and driving 6.5 hours back home. Still getting messages about flight and it is now showing that the other flight they put me on is now canceled and I would have to wait 24 hours for the next one. I will never book with spirit again

They stuck us with multiple extra fees. I will never fly spirit again

Overall it was a miserable experience... I will never fly spirit for more than a 3 hour flight or overnight.

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 ).
