That's not what I heard! Or maybe it was a snake in a tree. :]

If you ever have a chance, try to check out the Maple Leaf Lounge in Toronto, or the Empress Lounge in Vancouver. (Nevermind what BlondeBomber says -- I like the Toronto lounge. )

I regularly use the BA lounges as well, and I still think the CP and AC lounges are nicer. They have everything the BA lounges have, and more. While they are not as big, they have FREE internet access, FREE business stations, FREE faxing and photocopying (Long Distance charges are extra), FREE local calls (and none of this C$40 for a 3 minute call to Saudi Arabia nonsense), FREE drinks, lots of snacks, light meals at meal times (and "tea time" in the Empress Lounges), and on it goes. I'm not sure about the Maple Leaf lounges (if they are behind Empress, I'm sure they'll catch up quick) but the new Empress Lounges have golf putting machines, video games, lots of TVs, digital satellite music receivers, massage chairs, exotic art, quiet areas, FREE conference rooms, showers, and in Vancouver, the view can't be beat, even in Toronto.

Regards,

Ken Hamer
