I don't think you appreciate how hard it is to get contiguous space in an airport.

YYZ has six (6) AC lounges.

The reason the SS access restrictions are so tight is almost entirely due to their lack of space to build it. I'm not saying with double the size they'd let in all *A J, but I have it on very good authority that the access restrictions are primarily due to their lack of space.

They want more space.

And they grab it when they can. That's why they have the TB Express lounge, which was just a remote "extension" of the MLL. And the Cafe, which they decided to do something different with because it was a decent size, and basically right beside the MLL.

It's not simple. Increasing the size is probably the most challenging thing they could do to fix these problems.
