Please define breakfast items. Toast yes, Hard boiled eggs maybe, coffee most likely... sausages, bacon and made order eggs? No.

If you have AMEX/Platinum Plaza access they have better spread over by the WestJet gate area. The Plaza space just as you enter the AC gate area is also fairly good.

Ya, its really really REALLY gone downhill over the last year.
A year ago, you could get tons of stuff (as mentioned above), but now you're lucky to basically get anything.
Which surprises me since their business sales team is really starting to sell the lounge hard.

The Priority Pass lounges are usually better.
AC lounges don't have too much to look for any more.
But with all the cutbacks, higher earnings and higher stock prices, the AC execs are happy with their huge bonuses.

What I don't get is why the change AGAIN?
It used to suck, maybe some toast and yogurt if you are lucky.
Then they get the sausage, eggs, omelette, french toast, hard boiled eggs, etc etc (sure the quality can be debated but they had it).
And now back to basically nothing.

In YYJ, the pay-per-drink MLL (aka Spinnakers) now serves booze from 9a. BC Liquor laws are relaxing.
I think we should petition AC to apply for the change to their licence for the YVR MLL. Especially for international! Boarding flights to Asia without a buzz sucks.

Give and take.
The question becomes: what are you going to do about it?

International MLL (especially the ones not in NA don't ever get me started in the NY ones) are better.
Perhaps the most recent cuts are due to the poor Q1 results. You know, from the high oil prices.
But is that due to an inability to book flights with AC?
