We used it the end of Nov for departure. Our flight boarded early. They never announced it but we decided to leave the lounge a little early. Good thing we did. We were the last to board and the flight left early. They said they called the club but no one told us. Also the food was a little "old". We wereI am not sure we would do it again. the only ones there and they told us they were closing the area we were in as soon as we left. I think it depends on how crowded the airport is when you arrive and depart. We did not have an escort and only tipped the bartender.

Thanks to everyone for their experiences. If I decide to use the service for my Feb 7-16 trip I will provide my opinions. The club Mobay email support has been very responsive.

I have already reserved the VIP arrival only but now I have a question about the departure option. How does ticketing work for departure. Past trips we have had to wait in long lines at MoBay airport to get tickets and check luggage. Does Club MoBay bypass this step or speed it up somehow?
Thanks

I have only used Club MoBay's departure option and I am not aware of any help getting your bags checked (now that would be nice). Both times I have checked in and then proceded to the MoBay kiosk to purchase my departure pass.
I can't remember if it was on the pass or if I read it on the pamphlet, but it was noted that they can't always call every flight and that the customer should check the flight departure screens.
If any flight is leaving earlier that expected, I would hope that they would be told when the gate calls them. That is rather important information.

The departure service begins after you have been ticketed and checked your luggage. You then check in with Club MoBay and they expedite you through immigration and customs and on to the Club MoBay lounge.

I was pleased to discover a number of self serve kiosks to print my boarding pass this time, which is great if you don't check bags. & it looked like those kiosks also helped to keep the lines shorter at the airline counters by eliminating passengers who didn't really need to there.

Once I had my boarding pass I proceeded to the Club Mobay desk & got thru immigration & security check in about 15-20 minutes.

'Buzzkill' usually comes to mind on departure but not this time!!!

Tawnee, Ras, & Westend - Thanks for the replies. I have tried to preprint our return trip boarding passes using the Hotel computer & printer but they would not print. I guess it wouldn't matter anyway as we will have luggage to check.

departure service is all we have done and it is great. just $30 each would just be a few beers at margaritaville

We used the departure after our stay at Thanksgiving and jumped in front of at least 50 people lined up to go through customs,didn't get an escort to the lounge but told us how to get there.Bartender gave us fresh patties and nice cold beers and our customary leaving the island shots.We tipped the bartender as he was filling our beers before they were empty!$30.00 each paid for at our hotel as we were checking out and we would do it again,as Ras said,it's a nice place to relax for a couple hours before the dreaded flight home!
