image of Wichita

It's been voted as being one of the ten best cities to live in the USA, and Wichita is considered to be the cultural capital of Kansas, though it is not the state capital. The city's name comes from the Native American tribe that lived in this territory.

Ten kilometres (6 miles) from Wichita's city centre is the Wichita Mid-Continent Airport (airport code: ICT). It is not an international airport, but connecting flights from around the USA service this area. Delta Airlines is the only carrier that has a single stop flight to Wichita from South Africa and connects in Atlanta. The rest of the airlines offer 2-stop services, such as a flight with British Airways with stops in London and Denver. Virgin Atlantic stops in the same two cities for its flight to Wichita. South African Airways travels through London and then stops again in Chicago, offering the same route as British Midland.
