About KG
KG is a regional U.S. carrier punching within its weight class — 38 non-stop routes spread across 19 airports, all of them domestic. That network totals 16,818 km, which tells you right away this isn't a coast-to-coast powerhouse. It's a focused operation built around shorter hops, with Denver (DEN) carrying the most traffic at 8 departing routes. Think connecting mid-sized markets rather than competing with the big legacy carriers on trunk routes. If you're routing through the American interior, KG shows up where the mainline airlines often don't bother.
Why fly KG?
The honest answer is convenience. If KG serves your city pair non-stop, that's usually reason enough — regional carriers exist precisely because alternatives involve a connection through a mega-hub that adds two hours to your day. DEN is the backbone here, and Denver's position in the center of the country makes it a genuinely useful connecting point. The longest route in the network is ORD-MKL at 714 km, which gives you a sense of the distances involved — short enough that you're trading a drive for a quick flight. For points players, regional carriers like this often show up as partners on larger programs, so it's worth checking whether your existing miles can book KG metal before paying cash.

Tips for booking KG
Book direct through KG's own site first — regional carriers sometimes hide fees in third-party fares that disappear on the official channel. If you're connecting beyond KG's network, price the itinerary both ways: sometimes positioning yourself to DEN and picking up a separate mainline ticket beats a single-ticket price. Bags on regional aircraft can be tight, so carry-on dimensions matter more than on widebody flights. Chicago ORD and Dallas DFW both appear as secondary hubs, meaning connections there are realistic options if DEN doesn't work for your routing. Always confirm your actual fare class before assuming any points accrual.
