Negative as of Oct 29th. They were palate-jacking in what appeared to be supplies... so it may be operational by now.

Negative... stat holiday for sure not, but the lounge attendant told the people I gifted passes to that they no longer offer hot brekkie FWIW. So please do report back...

I hope they found value in a muffin and a coffee.... maybe it will make them fly so much AC to one day achieve their own status!

Palate-jacking sounds like the most accurate term I've heard to describe sampling MLL cuisine.

Can one of the AC lurkers here please arrange to change the toilet seat if not the entire toilet in the handicapped cubicle in the men's YVR DOM lounge ? Disgusting.
Would also be nice to have a change room without washroom facilities. Sometimes after a day of meetings, I just want to change into something more casual before the flight and the yucky washrooms are the only options. FWP.

I suppose it's too much to ask for a shower.... oh, PPL has that!

YVR Dom MLL has two shower rooms. I use them all the time.

That's actually an interesting point.

If I use a shower room jsut to change, I suspect they have to replace the towels, do some cleaning, etc.

Why can't there be a totally sealed off room with enough space for a bag and a little table, with no running water, no toilet, etc?

I'm surprised nobody knows about the vestige lav downstairs with the private bathroom inside the main lav.
So someone can change inside that private lav with AMPLE space.

And I change in that private lav all the time.

There is a lav downstairs ? Never new that, normally just scan my BP and head upstairs.

So many FOTSGs here.

Only the veterans here know this. Remember the downstairs used to have the business centre to the left when entering the MLL. To the right are the lavs that were meant to service the bottom floor business centre patrons. Ever since the bottom floor business centre was changed into an employee area, the lavs were left untouched, like a UNESCO virgin forest.

The lavs on the bottom floor have a private inner lav with its own sink and toilet with ample counter space and room to change.

So now you FOTSGs all know.

I rarely contribute anything here since I'm also a FOTSG, so this is all you'll get from me for the rest of the year. The rest of my posts will be on par with the 80% here who flame and criticize while riding their high horses and yet contribute zero information or assistance to others on this forum since they are all true FOTSGs.

Btw, I never thought the toilet in the handicap stall in the men's lav was ever dirty or nasty. Maybe you arrived to find it thoroughly destroyed by previous patrons? I think it probably just needed a cleaning by the staff...

Damn... my FOTSG is out of the bag!

Honestly tho, I've just never noticed showers there... and I swear the online amenity listing used to show no showers.

Wow... it's like I feel there's a new benefit for short-haulers already!

There are two showers but the staff would prefer you do not use them. Too much work
