Kansas City, Wichita, and Big 12 Road Trips Start Right Here
Cross I-70 headed east to Kansas City International Airport, roll into Arrowhead Stadium for a Chiefs game, or make the 155-mile run south on US-59 and I-35 to Wichita—Lawrencekscharterbusservices.com makes arranging the bus for every one of those trips fast and easy. KU fan groups heading to Big 12 away games in Manhattan, Ames, Norman, or Fort Worth know how quickly the calendar fills up in football and basketball season. Comparing buses through a large network means you are not stuck with whatever one company has left on a game weekend.
Enter your destination, your date, and your group size to see available motorcoaches and pricing side by side—and lock in your seat before the route sells out!
At T-Mobile Center (1407 Grand Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64106), Oak Street is the passenger drop-off curb, including ADA drop-off, while Grand Boulevard is closed to traffic for most events. Your bus uses the open Oak Street approach instead of getting trapped on the arena's closed frontage, so the group steps out close to the doors and the ride home stays organized.
Book a Motorcoach to Omaha, St. Louis, Indianapolis, or Denver
Book your long-haul trip early and your group rides in comfort the whole way. The College World Series draws Lawrence groups to Charles Schwab Field Omaha (1 Stadium Dr, Omaha, NE 68107) every June—about 200 miles north via US-59 and I-29, roughly three hours on a straight flat highway. NCAA Tournament regionals send KU fans to Indianapolis (~6.5 hours via I-70), and Big 12 games in Fort Worth and Waco push seven to eight hours each way.
A 56-passenger motorcoach with an onboard restroom, WiFi, reclining seats, and undercarriage luggage bays turns those miles into part of the experience instead of the worst part of the weekend. Compare motorcoach options through the network and find the right bus for your route!
At Charles Schwab Field Omaha (1200 Mike Fahey Street, Omaha, NE), bus parking has a published $25 cost, and in-and-out parking is not permitted. Your bus drops everyone at the stadium, parks once, and stays put until the group is ready to leave—no mid-event relocation and no searching for the coach after the game; see the official Charles Schwab Field Omaha directions and parking page for the event-day parking rules.
Fill Out One Form to Arrange Your Kansas City Airport Transfer
Fill out one form and find airport transportation from Lawrence to Kansas City International Airport (MCI) (2 NW 101st Terrace, Kansas City, MO 64153) without the carpool scramble. MCI is the primary commercial airport serving Lawrence—about 40 to 45 miles east on I-70, 40 to 55 minutes off-peak and up to 90 minutes during Kansas City's morning or evening rush. One bus keeps your whole group together, handles the luggage, and drops everyone at the Arrivals-level commercial vehicle pickup lanes at MCI's single-terminal facility.
No coordinating multiple cars, no surge pricing, no hunting for parking. Compare available vehicles and pricing from a network of bus companies serving the Lawrence-to-MCI corridor and get your group to the airport on time!
Airport timing gets easier when you split the curb by direction: at Kansas City International Airport (1 Kansas City Boulevard, Kansas City, MO 64153), departures use the upper-level curb and arrivals use the lower-level curb. The airport does not allow vehicles to wait unattended on either curb, so your bus unloads departing travelers upstairs and returns to the lower arrivals curb only after everyone has collected bags and is waiting outside; the official Kansas City International Airport getting-to-and-from guide gives the curb rules.

Enter your full itinerary—dates, stops, headcount—and compare buses and pricing built around your actual schedule.
A support team is available at 785-371-8250 every day of the year to help put together a custom package for longer trips!
For a conference leg, Overland Park Convention Center places its loading-dock entrance on the east side of the building, while the main parking lot is north of the building off 110th Street. Your bus uses the east-side loading approach for the event leg and skips the passenger-car scramble around the front, with the official Overland Park Convention Center loading and parking information spelling out the access points.
