True. You don't have to wait for an hour to speak to an agent on the phone or to check in. And you can visit the MLL if you are travelling alone. That's about it ... have I missed anything?
Of course, if you fly West Jet, you also don't have to wait for an hour to speak to an agent on the phone or to check in. And you won't need the lounge because their planes generally leave on time.
