getting between terminals at MCI
I have a flight in a couple weeks out of MCI on NWA. I have a WorldClub pass that will get me into Delta lounges also. I see that Delta has a club in KC, but it is in a different terminal. I have flown out of MCI a few times, but never needed or wanted to switch terminals. How big of a deal is it to go between terminals? I will probably get there & have an hour to kill before my flight.

DL's presence at MCI has diminished to the point that I wouldn't expect much from the club. MCI is a sort of empty place on the prairie, its terminals poorly designed for use in this High Security age, and its traffic never reaching expectations. I get depressed there...

They just finished refurbishing MCI a couple of years ago, so a new airport is highly unlikely. The folks around here tend to like it (obviously, not those who have had a plane delay and had to wait in the ghost terminals). 
I have heard that they did put bathrooms inside a couple of the gate holding pens, but I don't know if they did anything other than southwest's area.

The UA gates now have bathroom's past security. Used to be a real pain after having a few beers anda delayed flight.
