Data points from my experiences only regarding the Amex booths:

For wine, I've been poured a typical glass like you would get in an a restaurant.
For Scotch, I've been provided with singles and doubles, all neat.
I've always had discussions about the actual alcoholic products. I never had a conversation about Amex products, AFAIK.

My experience mirrors yyznomad. Wines on offer have typically been quite drinkable, servers pleasant. Have seen thiscseversl times over the years but only at YYZ domestic MLL.

Someone needs to PM me when such pleasantries are offered so I can partake as I normally do not make it to the MLL. YYZ is my home airport so I time myself to reach just in time and if I am in a rush for something quick, the PPL is faster to get in and out. Nothing in the MLL makes me want to visit unless its to kill time during IRROPs. Actually most of my travel is TB so this may not even apply.

Your comment made my morning.

I just had this meal the other day and was thinking the same thing. Unappealing is the kindest thing I can say about that meal.

Agreed.

It is an offense to rubber chickens the world over.

I was thinking the same thing this weekend in the YVR MLL.........wouldn't quite call it Naan bread though.......more like a fluffy pita.

Had Mrs KDS777 and two of our friends who are 1K with us, and we had a good chat about how PATHETIC Air Canada's lounge food is compared to our vast experiences around the globe.

YUL TB this morning

Scones as reported before but also pastries. Watermelon, bananas, oatmeal, cereals, fruit-flavored yogurt as usual.

Also, this translation is 👌🏻



Could take a few minutes more in the oven



Perfect Frenglish. How Canadian!
