No, it doesn't.
If not, you will not get access to the MLL at YVR, unless you have a single J class ticket- and the domestic flight form YVR is part of the ticket.
It is a single ticket.
There are also Plaza Premium Lounges - 2 in domestic concourse in YVR- accessible with AMEX Platinum or Centurion card (or additionally in Canada - the Canadian VISA Infinite privilege card). Some people would say that at least the food offerings are much better than in MLL - maybe halfway between United Club and AMEX Centurion lounges in USA.
Good tip. I'll bring my AMEX plat card. And with a four hour layover, we might want to lounge hop, especially if it means better food.
The food offerings in MLL at YVR - are in 2 categories- one group is self-service of some items- not too much different than United Club. Also one can order heated items - through cell phone scanning qr code- present at most tables at MLL.
Thank you.
A kind FTer has seen this thread and has sent me lounge passes. I shall start with our ticket and see if it works for the lounge; if not, I now have passes.
