Waved into the MLL?
 
The last couple times I've entered YYZ TB, the agent hasn't taken my BP or asked for my card, and has just waved me in.

Meanwhile, other people are having their BP scanned, and some get their card swiped.

The only thing I can think of is that I'm wearing a FT t-shirt. But that doesn't make any sense :confused:

Any ideas?

What a "look at me" thread :rolleyes:

"I get special treatment from time to time, anybody else get this or am I extra special?"

'Never happened to me... Presumably the agent has just recognised you from frequent visits?

Huhuhuhu sorry cow, usually I tend to side with you on FT threads, but this time I gotta agree with them.

That's my sense as having met the OP it's not a case of DYKWIA. Just MHO.

Same (minus the having met the OP part). Back when I ate at the uni cafeteria for every meal, they recognised me and just started waving me in every time. It's likely the same thing.

...I wonder if I can go back without having to pay :D

Happens to me all the time, CC.;)

You must be stunningly good looking, too.^

I'm sorry if this thread came off the wrong way. I'm genuinely interested in the answer, because...

I rarely visit YYZ TB. My final destination is almost always SFO, and I hate direct flights :p. If it were YVR DOM/TB, or even YYZ DOM, I'd understand, but this just doesn't make sense.

Hard to disagree with that one :rolleyes:

"The last couple times I've entered YYZ TB" vs. "I rarely visit YYZ TB". <shrug>

Exit elevator. Proceed towards desk. Get waved in. Orient forward movement slightly to the left. Use MLL facilities. Leave when done. Board flight.

Gift. Horse. Mouth.

All those "dropins" to chat with the concierges are paying off!

They have your picture in the VIP section!

Couple generally means "two". It was the last two times. I've been in that lounge three times in the past six months.

It's not really a "gift horse" if I have legitimate access anyway.

The "gift" being granted in your situation was the modest time-saving courtesy of not having to stand in a queue and show your credentials to confirm your "legitimacy".

I hope you enjoyed your time in the lounge.

Cheap shot, lowside. MHO.
I'd be surprised & mildly curious too if it ever happened to me.
And pleased, given the increasingly long lineups at YYZ

The guy (or Cow) had a legit question. Although I suspect the FT shirt did it for you dude.
