On Tuesday, February 28, 2023, Delta will be opening a Delta Sky Club® at Kansas City Airport (MCI), making it the first lounge to open in the newly transformed airport.

Basics of the new Delta Sky Club Kansas City

The new Delta Sky Club Kansas City is roughly 11,200 square feet, with a capacity for nearly 200 guests, and a variety of seating options to accommodate a wide variety of travelers. The new lounge includes a bar, buffet, and two all-weather Sky Decks with views of the airfield, which is always an awesome feature. The bathrooms in the lounge are also stocked with Grown Alchemist products.

The lounge is located in the center of the new terminal, and will be open daily from 4:15AM until 6:30PM. Below are some pictures that Delta has provided of the new lounge.

While it’s always great to see more lounge capacity, it’s especially cool to see a lounge open at a new airport that otherwise lacks lounges. This is Delta’s first Sky Club at a new airport in several years (as opposed to adding Sky Clubs to airports that already have them).

See this post for Delta Sky Club access policies. In addition to being open to select premium passengers and members, Sky Clubs can also be accessed with American Express Platinum Card® (review) and The Business Platinum Card® from American Express (review).

Kansas City Airport’s new terminal

The new Delta Sky Club is made possible thanks to Kansas City Airport’s transformation. The airport has undergone a $1.5 billion makeover, whereby all airport operations have been consolidated in a new 39-gate terminal.

The new terminal features a revamped, fully accessible experience from curb to gate, a new lobby, a new and enlarged security checkpoint, local concessions, gates with updated technology, and more.

Bottom line

The Delta Sky Club Kansas City will be opening shortly, coinciding with the opening of the new terminal at Kansas City Airport. It’s exciting to see Kansas City Airport being totally transformed, and this new lounge looks fantastic.

Anyone plan on checking out the Delta Sky Club Kansas City soon?

The Delta lounge in Kansas City could be in an indication Delta will use the airport for connections. Not every connection can go through Atlanta. I flew out of Tulsa endlessly via Delta and flew to Atlanta endlessly. I used to fly to and from St. Louis Saturdays via Atlanta and earn 5000 miles each trip. I earned Platinum status for $2500 or so and bought miles for 1 cents via endless promotions. I miss the Delta of 10 years ago... Regardless, airlines didn't use Kansas City for connections due to the layout of the old terminals.

What a waste!!! Kansas City may have a new terminal but who exactly flies there? You either live there or you go there for business and nothing else. That’s not a huge place for Delta and not a place people will fly to connect. Sometimes Delta’s strategy makes me scratch my head.

This is part of Delta's clear strategy of putting more amenities in airports where it is not the largest carrier - Southwest is - but where they want to be able to offer a more premium experience. In many medium sized airports like MCI, Delta and American are similarly sized and AA doesn't have as many lounges as DL does. DL opened a greatly expanded Sky Club in Nashville - 5X or more larger than the previous one - and the new lounge is full but not overflowing at peak flight times. AUS is similar. Delta has the best lounge at the airport - but also uses it for its international partners. Delta just opened a very large Sky Club at ORD at 20k plus square feet- the only non-hub SC w/ showers - because DL clearly intends to use its SC as the Skyteam and JV partner lounge. Keep in mind that Delta and Amex are inextricably linked so Amex could be looking to increase its penetration in some of these markets as well. Not sure what other clubs DL has in the pipeline but moving into more and more "neutral" cities will help Delta in its quest to gain more premium passengers.

I travel through MCI a few times a year, and I am very excited about this new terminal. Any new terminal would have been a significant upgrade, but from the looks of this video, they really hit it out of the park. I really love the focus on local vendors.
