The Delta Sky Lounge in the Kansas City airport is fairly new – opened in February 2023. The entire airport was refurbished not long ago, and this is its only lounge.
The space spans more than 11,000 square feet to hold 200 guests, but the Monday morning I was there recently, it was virtually empty. I have to admit that was a treat, as most of the lounges I’ve visited in other airports, whether Delta or otherwise, have been packed.
I enjoyed a free mimosa from the bar, but I have to admit that the breakfast menu was a little disappointing. Since I wasn’t excited about the egg bake or the meat options, I appreciated that they included a butternut squash salad with greens and quinoa, as well as some potatoes.
But around 11am, the menu was changed to lunch, which allowed me to have a bit more food to hold me until I got home. For that meal, they served tasty turkey sliders, pasta, and chocolate chip cookies.
I have yet to experience a lounge with truly good food, but as lounge food goes, this was quite good. But what I appreciated most about the lounge was the stylish decor and different comfortable seating possibilities.
I chose to eat in the area with three televisions. The sound wasn’t on, but they were closed captioned so that we could keep up with the news. Since I was traveling the Monday before Hurricane Milton, I was keen to stay informed of its progress.
Possibly my favorite part of spending time in a lounge is the opportunity to use much nicer and cleaner bathrooms than are found in the regular terminal. This lounge was no exception, and as I’ve found to be the case in all Delta lounges, the staff was friendly and attentive.
If you’re leaving on a flight from MCI in Kansas City, try to get entry to this Delta Sky Lounge.
