Another 10 minute line up to get into the YYZ domestic lounge this afternoon.
If the lounge is at capacity, then why is the line up inside the lounge?
As mentioned the YYZ lounge asks for proof of vaccination from your province.
I presented a paper black and white copy of mine.
The staff let me in, but it was mentioned they prefer to see the coloured version on my phone.
This is such a joke as I have been told by the staff at YVR that a paper version is preferred, so I carry one around. Same with some customs agents. I even thought of getting it laminated.
They think the ones on the phone can be easily faked, digitally. And easier legibility on paper. So what gives? You can print out a fake copy just as easily.
Thanks for the update. I know I have easy access to both so I'm not too annoyed but I'd be upset if someone called out my elderly mom for using her paper copy and not digital. No consistency.
Only way to fix this problem is roll out the QR code with official app w/ legit vaccine records that they started to do with Restaurants. lol.
