Visitor Comments

• Due to MCI's unique design of individual security points for a group of gates, the Club is located behind security for Gates 76-79. Any eligible Club member/visitor may access this area (there is even a short-cut in the line... look for the sign), but keep in mind that you will have to reclear security at your own gate if your flight is not departing from 76-79.
• Also important to note that there are no restrooms beyond security (but are located just outside).
• And on a personal note.... there is no fresh cream for the coffee/tea.
