Sneaking into the MLL ?
I was walking up the stairs to enter the lounge at YYT this morning and a guy right behind me says "I forgot to ask for a code when I checked in. I'll just go in with you." I didn't say anything.
The check-in staff always writes the code on my BP. I think I "involuntarily guested" this guy in. He seemed pretty smooth about it, so I'm guessing it wasn't the first time.

And just now walked by a commotion at the YVR transborder lounge. Lounge dragon was telling some guy he had no right to be there. Walked downstairs and a police officer was waiting to take the elevator up. Looks like it's my day for lounge drama!

Tough call. It would be pretty rude to pull the door closed behind you, and someone else would just let him in anyway. I wonder how much abuse of entry happens at these unattended MLLs YYT, YQR?
Was the dude being tossed from the YVR TB MLL acting like a jerk?

In my recent few experiences in the YYT MLL over the past few months, you would never know who got guested and who didn't since there's no "desk" to speak of and only one attendant that does many things in the lounge and isn't always there to see when you walk in--not sure if this has changed.

Months ago when I was in the YVR DOM MLL three young kids (late 20's) sneaked in and I ratted them out. The Dragon when up to them and asked to see their BP they showed them and they were escorted out. They looked around as they looked embarssed!

Isn't the YVR DOM MLL a desk on the first floor with stairs going up?
