They just recently started accepting priority pass at their clubs. A few still don’t but most do. I have seen mixed messages on if a PP holder can bring guests though like at other clubs

It seems to almost be dependent of the airport and lounge. I’ve never had a problem bringing guests in for any I’ve visited with my PP, but I also have checked the app beforehand to ensure.

I can’t recall seeing any that have no guests allowed, but I definitely have heard of it happening so they do exist

PP doesn’t list a guest on all of the escape lounges, like it does for most others. I saw an article that said you wouldn’t be able to bring guests to escape lounges with PP.. but then I saw one of them listed with guests allowed on PP. So I guess we will see what happens when I finally get to one.

I was just in CVG and tried to check out their escape lounge because I knew we were getting one. I think my first apartment was bigger. The PP lounge wasn't much better. I'd rather not even have them if they were that size. I feel like neither were 1000sf.

I believe the KC lounge space is flexible between 4,000 and 8,000 SF

Would recommend getting a credit card that includes a pass. Works out better financially.

I think so, but they close before midnight and it's an enclosed, weather-protected, space.

And I'd probably end up on some list for sneaking in after closing time and making love on a pile of sand I also snuck in.

Update. I emailed one and asked. They said they allow one guest with PP

The Airport will build new high speed on/offs to Runway 1L and upgrade adjacent taxi ways over the next two years. The project will support more efficient operations on what is now the airport’s busiest runway.

Any talks of extending 1R/19L to match the length? Would make some sense to eventually have two N/S oriented Runways of equivalent lengths as we continue growing operations.

All 3 runways are plenty long enough for the traffic MCI sees. A 4th runway is far off with # of aircraft operations steady or having decreased over time (we are seeing bigger airplanes, not necessarily more of them).

I heard the Nick Cave art installation was removed from the headhouse? Anyone know what's going on?

One can only hope. That room looked 10x better before it was installed.

An article about Nick Cave linked below. He is considered a major modern US artist, although the white-hot acquisition phase of his Soundsuits has subsided. He attended the KCAI and is a native of Missouri.

Cave won the readers poll for favorite installation. I like them, especially when the sun hits them right. Much better than the flying saxophones.
