Even with these restrictions I am shocked how busy it still is. Popped in at 5pm yesterday, no place to sit and there were about 15-20 people standing waiting.

I just elected to hope back out and come back after 630 ( which by the way once LHR and FRA left it really emptied out, granted no big surprise )

There are way too many people with status flying out of Calgary. Too many consultants. Priority boarding basically means board the entire plane.

Just wait for zoned boarding. It will almost certainly be better for you (although not for everyone).

That's a matter of perspective. Just ask a geologist.

With the new revised less restrictive rules, can I still use a MLL lounge pass before 3pm and after 630pm

Yes, yes you can. As long as you are outside the window that Ben's post lists.

Went through there a couple times in the last few days. Still a lot of reno's going on, but overall it's a huge improvement from where it was before!

Yup, the lounge is looking great. One of the agents walked me through the new front desk area and it's going to look very good. Even a nice new kitchen area for food prep.

Just wish they added showers!

The lounge looks very nice, but man that construction area gets bigger every time I'm there. That lil hallway to get to the MLL doors is barely big enough for 1 person now. Sounded the construction guys were tossing stuff around at will the other day too. That said the place wasn't very busy which is nice. Most of my flights are on Tuesdays and it backs off a bit that day it seems, at night when I've been there pretty dead too. But man it can get packed in there even with these new rules. Too bad there's not a small INTL MLL, but I guess there's also not really a need for it.

Renovated YYC MLL DO

I think SAP should organize a YYC MLL RENO DO aka "REDO"

I would fly there just to see the updated MLL... I have avoided YYC for awhile since I last visited that carphole.
