Transportation between the Kansas City Airport and the Marriott:- The Kansas City airport (MCI) is located on the outskirts of the city, ~25 miles from the Marriott. Estimated taxi fare from the airport to the Marriott is $65/one way.
- A more affordable option is the SuperShuttle Shared Van (max number of passengers = 10) which starts at $19/one way.

Reservations from the airport are not required but are recommended.
- Uber is also an option.
- Unfortunately public buses are not a convenient option since the trip will require several bus changes and take ~1.5 hours.
