Answer 1 :
You should be able to get a round trip for about $220 at the cheapest. I don't know what your exact dates are but go to www.orbitz.com and you can compare the prices of all the different airlines. Then I would go to the website of the airline which is the cheapest and check on there because sometimes it is even cheaper.
Answer 2 :
http://www.southwest.com/cgi-bin/showItinerary Check that link. I found flights that leave on March 27-friday that are $84 one way to MCI (Kansas City airport) And return flights for $ 84 on April 4th So, about $168 plus all taxes and fees. Southwest airlines
Answer 3 :

Answer 1 :
Kansas City? Try going somewhere that isn't in the middle of nowhere where if you blink you actually DON'T miss it.....like Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles, lots to do there.....
Answer 2 :
bar b que, Gates is my favorate, or try your luck, jazz, the plaza. are all must dos. If you like new York style, try Seven, resturant and club
Answer 3 :
It isn't really all that bad living here. There are things to do. The worst thing about Kansas City is that all the good fun stuff there is to do is soooo spread out! Like some cool stuff to do is Worlds and Oceans of fun, The Legends Of Village West, The KC Zoo, The Plaza, Westport, Crown Center, Downtown and many other things but if you would mapquest these things...most of them are miles apart from each other and our freaking airport is way out of the way from anything...I like cities like St.Louis everything is close!
Answer 4 :
Join the Navy and see the world!
Answer 5 :
KC is a medium-sized city in the Midwest. It has no mountains and no beaches. It's not as diverse as some of the coastal cities, but it's also a bit more comforting and charming. You'll find some of the nicest people in the area of the country. It's not so large as to make people feel they have a license to act like a prick--like Philadelphia, New York and Los Angeles. We don't have as many cultural attractions as some of the bigger cities, but it's nice enough.
Answer 6 :
well i've been living here for a while and sometimes it's really really fun, and sometimes it SUCKS. there are pros and cons... pros being that we get 4 seasons, good schools (except for kcmo public schools =/), somewhat good shopping centers...[the plaza, zona rosa, oak park, etc...), you can pretty much fly anywhere in a somewhat short amount of time, personally i think its a really really good place to grow up, but after high school... im out. cons would be your in the middle of no where. no beaches, no mountains, stuck up people, racially divided, typical soccer moms and business dads. not really a diverse area. but tourist wise im sure it would be fun to visit for a day. theres the zoo, starlight theatre, really good barbeque, nelson atkins muesem of art, union station, science city... plenty of historic sites, civil war grounds. the list goes on but i'm sure people would have more fun visiting here then living here. thats my honest opinion of kansas city missouri. sorry if it offends anyone

About Best travel route from Kansas City to Anchorage Alaska

Best travel route from Kansas City to Anchorage Alaska?
Should I fly North and then rent a car for the rest of the way? Mapquest says its a 70 hour trip by car, not really good. Has anyone made this trip? Suggestions welcome.

Answer 1 :
To fly roundtrip costs $600-800 and takes 8-11 hours depending on your preference. To drive 7025 miles takes 117 hours (15 days) and costs $3512 if you use the standard mileage rate or a bare minimum of $927 for just gas at $3.30 a gallon plus the cost of a motel if you stay in one. I can not imagine someone choosing to drive considering these factors.
Answer 2 :
It is more cost effective to fly vs drive. But, if you drive, you have 2 options. You can drive to Anchorage all the way. Another option is taking the Alaska Marine Highway. You can catch the ferry in Bellingham, Washington and take it up the inside passage (pretty much the same route as the cruise ships) to Haines, and then drive the rest of the way. Another option is they're now setting it up where you catch the ferry in Ketchikan (my hometown) or Juneau (i think) and then taking you up almost all the way to Anchorage. You'll end up getting in port about a 3 hour drive from Anchorage. It's a way to learn a lot about Alaskans, and the crazy bunch we are, plus relax and see some of the flora and fauna. It depends on if the financial aspect is the main focus, or the experience along the way is. Good luck!!!!!! And here is the link to the ferry. http://www.dot.state.ak.us/amhs/index.html

About How long would it take a train to travel from St Louis to Kansas City in the late 1800's

How long would it take a train to travel from St Louis to Kansas City in the late 1800's?
Note I am talking about train travel in the early west, not the present.

Answer 1 :
Which decade in the late 1800's are you talking about? Steam locomotives in the early west were laughed at..and in one famous demonstration in about 1840 or so, a horse beat a steam locomotive in a race. But as the "decades" went by, the technology improved and the trains got faster. So a steam locomotive in the 1890's was a lot more powerful and faster than the one back in 1860's or 1870's , for instance. The average speed for steam locomotive in the late 1800's probably was around 25-30 mph +/- 10mph.(I'm guessing) Kansas city is about 250 miles away from St.Louis. So the trip should take about 8-10 hours. That's non-stop. Back in the day, trains make a lot of stops. That make the trip a lot longer

Answer 1 :
Does it really matter what race they are? I doubt you'll be able to search for travel agents based on race.
Answer 2 :
The Chamber of Commerce should be able to tell you if the business is minority owned. Why does it need to be an African American Travel Agent? That sounds a bit racist.
Answer 3 :
You sound a little prejudiced there Bro. What's wrong with just asking about a good well qualified TA?? It does appear the most blacks prefer using other blacks for business. Glad I don't stick to my own race when doing business. Let's be color free and move out of that mind set ok? Be open minded, it's 2007, not 1964. I deal with all races and treat everyone equally. Try it, you'll be glad you did!
Answer 4 :
I can understand you wanting to help out a fellow businessman of color and it's not racist at all...however I belive it might be hard to find out who is black and who isn't.
Answer 5 :
Just google Black Chamber of Commerce Kansas or Missouri or Black Entrepreneur Kansas or Missouri. Side note...Why do people think you're a racist when you support your own?
Answer 6 :
Try the local Chamber of Commerce. They may be able to help you. Another way would be to find a local church that has African American members and see if they can recommend who they use.
Answer 7 :
The Chamber of Commerce should be able to help you. But why is it that you are called racist because you want to patronize a black business? I don't get it people. Other races patronize their own all the time, and are not called racist. Get a grip people. Keeping the black dollar in the black community allows for the community to thrive and grow
