We're going on a cruise in January. Because we have built up free Southwest tickets, we're flying out of KC (even though we're closer to Tulsa--there are more flight options from KC). The flight we want is early am, so we are going to drive up (200 miles from NW Arkansas) and spend the night the night before.
I looked for airport hotels on AAA .com but it was hard to find anything specific. I booked a hotel in Independence, but I'd like to be closer to the airport. What would be closer than Independence, but safer than an industrial area close to the airport?
(We're a little skittish about parking our car in some places, since the truck was broken into in Detroit last August.)
Also, I looked up the Thrifty parking lot for the airport--is there a better one? Is it located off-site or on? We don't mind riding the shuttle to the airport--just don't want to spend a lot per day.
Thanks for any info!
