while i dont expect AC to open MLLs everywhere, i do expect airlines and their alliances to make lounge arrangements for most MAJOR airports
if SH assertion was true... why would we need a MLL in St Johns and Regina?

YYC Transborder is an entirely different situation, and no doubt somewhere where AC has considered operating a lounge. The discussion isn't out of left field, and YYC Transborder is probably the place where the majority of AC posters here on FT would say that a lounge would make sense... (I'm sorry, YSB )

AC cheerfully charges pax $1,138 to fly YYC-SFO up front.
The excellent lounge upstairs was near EMPTY for the 3 hours yeaterday when we were there - 4pm-7pm and then it closes.
David surely you are not saying it is a good business model for AC to gouge any walk up business passengers $1,138 for a short flight from a HUB, and then expect them to sit on a plastic stool in a noisy greasy spoon, and buy their own beers????

Exactly! It can't cost that much to offer lounge access to J, especially at a contract rate for ~100 people a day.

Can anyone tell me what is food is served in this lounge? I am off to OGG soon and will have at least an hour in that lounge and will access it with my Amex.

mostly cold sandwiches and cereal depending on the time of day. They also have various chips and such but that's about it. Although the wraps are good.

Someone mentioned an Amex Plat *or* a Priority Pass, but the best is an Amex Plat that *provides* a Priority Pass . I miss my UK card!
If I were adding one it would be Ottawa transborder. I was there yesterday for the first time and was shocked that there was no lounge! I would have thought that there would be a LOT of travel between Ottawa and DC (which is what I was doing.
Thanks

Why should AC have lounges everywhere? If you want 100% lounge access get yourself the type of cards and memberships that give it. Don't blame AC for a decision it has made on a cost-benefit basis...Odd that you all feel YYC is such a sh#thole you need a lounge to survive a few hours waiting for your flight.
Perhaps I'm guilty of west coast snobbery; YYC may not be a sh#thole but it fails to rank among the top 50 "airports in which I'd like to spend a lot of time".
