Flying WS today, connecting domestic B gates via YYZ T3. PPL at B24 said I could get to C32 for a shower. Walked to C gates, guard appeared to be looking for international boarding pass. Went back to B24 where agent was insistent that all A, B and C gates have freeflow except transborder.

So to be clear if travelling internationally via West Jet to say carribean leaving from say B41 (about as far from the C33 international lounges where I gather the PP WestJet accessible lounge is) one can STILL use that lounge with a boarding pass to say MBJ and a lounge pass but it's a bit of a hike - assuming the person guarding entrance to that area will let you through

Perhaps you would know - I will be arriving from YUL to gates B or C and then connecting to US (gates A) without checked luggage.

Do I need to go through YYZ security again, or only the US customs and immigration?

PP lounges in T3 - FTs can't get there from here

This has become a major issue. In late December, we went to the T3 transborder area, only to discover there is no PP lounge access. As WS Gold members, we had lounge passes and no way to get to there! I contacted WS about the problem and they offered no solution.

PP has 5 lounges at YYZ - none of them accessible to trans border passengers departing T3:

None of them accessible makes it sounds like they won't admit you. There is no lounge after preclearance at all which is a horse of a different colour.

The duty free shops sell right into your hands in this area or they did when I flew on TACA (now Avianca and now in T1) and CX.

They want an international boarding pass so you don't receive low cost smokes and booze from someone in there who is on an international flight. The duty free shop wants a boarding pass but if domestic passengers could commingle it would be like the boats across Lake Erie during Prohibition.

So since there is a lounge in B for domestic all you lose is a shower.
