I thought vaping wasn't allowed in either... I'm pretty sure I heard announcements to that effect in the air on my last few flights if not longer... Can't say for the lounge, but definitely for the flights.

Sorry, to clarify, I was only referring to the "looking comfortable" part of WTME's post.
That said, on a narrow-body (YYZ to YVR) a few months ago, the young guy next to me in Business Class definitely let out a puff of vapors when I was just returning from the lav. His head was turned towards the window and he quickly was doing something with his hand in his bag. And he gave me a big guilty smile when I returned to my seat, but didn't do it again.

0500 in YHZ MLL.

There is myself, a solo woman, and another solo male traveler. One couple with a baby, and one party of 10, ages 0 to dirt.

Party of 10 possibly still drunk? Their natural voice level seems to be "yelling". Engaging with the couple on trivial issues, 3 rows away, at the necessary "screaming" level.

Looking forward to the peace and quiet of a q400

Follow up: so too were the Hatfield's and McCoy's heading to YUL.

Quiet on the opup to ORD, though.

Montreal domestic lounge. Dude filling his backpack with little yogurts is complaining to staff because there are no plastic spoons.

I can never understand why people talk on the phone at a volume on the phone that is clearly audible in a 50' radius, like they're presenting on front of a huge room of people.

Yes, guy in YYZ transborder, I am talking to you.

And I guess no one told staff to make him stop stealing and put the items back?

I have occasionally grabbed a banana and yogurt (and a metal spoon) to go for a morning YYC-YVR flight in J, when I'm late and don't have time to eat and I'm not interested in the on-board omelette -- but I always feel awkward about it. Oh, and I return the spoon on the flight, of course.

OMG there was some loud guy at the domestic in YVR couple weeks ago. Going on and on about some 'deal' and 'inventory' and other nonsense no-one cares about.

Mr.super important widget salesman, shhhhhh and let me enjoy my vacation!

I actually think that instead of "mobile/cell free zones" that MLL should have quarantined areas for them. And then everywhere else should be treated like a quasi library.

When my family and I travel, my kids (age 9 and 7) are pre-warned that we will leave immediately if they are loud, argue or misbehave in any manner. And this is a big deal because in the weeks leading up to a trip all they seem to want to talk about is the visit to the lounge.

Just begin to engage in the conversation.

"Hi everyone. RangerNS here. Sorry, I just got to the lounge. What is this call about? Who are you?"

Create a pen for all the loud children and loud "businessmen" and let them fight it out?
