Alright folks! The application is up for the terminal stress testing! Info and outline listed in the social media post, and the survey application is at the bottom. I’ve attached the link to the survey below for anyone who’s also interested!

The wait will be agonizing

Looks like it will be harder to get into the new Delta Sky Club when it opens. MCI part of eight new or renovated clubs in 2023 - 11,000 sq feet and two sky decks.

The changes to Delta Sky Club access are not popular with the folks over at FlyerTalk. As someone said, "Skyclubs are (for practical purposes) Amex clubs. They just happen to be Delta-branded."

Pointless reminiscing about the good old days incoming, be forewarned:
My dad was a Platinum Medallion back in the 90s, before there was a Diamond Medallion, and a Million Mile Flyer back when that was a rarefied group. He flew all the time for work, and he would use his miles to fly us to Florida or Hawaii for vacation. Maybe he was also paying for my mom and I to enter the clubs back then, I don't remember. I just know it seemed like a simple process, and it didn't matter whether we were in coach or first class; he had access regardless. He retired in 2000 but has lifetime Platinum Medallion status. I should ask him if he ever bothers trying to get into the Sky Club when he travels these days.

I dunno about "Ornithology." I get the birds, but at some angle the sax clusters look like the Alien thing that burst out of peoples chests.

One reason I don't want to see an escape lounge as the other one. It is basically an amex club also. I don't have an issue with the Delta one, as I think they will be the biggest non-southwest here, but I would rather see a priority pass lounge as the other one.

Priority pass is also included with the Amex

It’s still slated as March, haven’t heard otherwise yet. Feb would be nice though if they could pull that off

Yes but that is kind of my point. Escape Lounges don’t accept priority pass. So you have two lounges that are for Amex users. I would have liked one lounge that accepted priority pass to give more people options

Cool find thanks for sharing.

Even if I'm not selected for the "simulation" exercises of the new terminal, I look forward to the open house they plan to have to see the place before its secured. From the video it was mentioned they'd have a timed entry for the open house similar to a departure time for a flight.

Agreed. Much less disappointment with that event happening.

western runway reopened. I think this it was been completely rebuilt now?

[KCPowercat]

Latest city update report says opening day is February 28th.

[normalthings]

nothing new but found on build kci website

So how soon before we see McDonald's and other chains make their way into the terminals? I'm all for the local fare but if there are surveys I'm almost sure that's one of the things that people are going to mark as a needs improvement.
