Int'l MLL access for Tango fare
It's been a real long time since I've been here however I wanted to ask a question.
Is there such thing as an MLL pass that can be used at an Int'l MLL (YYZ)? Obtaining a pass is no issue (via AP remption) but the ones I have seen available are Dom/TB only. Why AC does this I do not understand however I'd like to access the MLL for at least 2-3 hours. My departure is in the evening of Sept 12. Unfotunately as I was booked by my company, the cheapest fare class prevails.

They made a change a couple of years ago to limit the lounge passes that are issued as options to Altitude members to domestic/north America only. This was supposedly because the lounges were getting to full of (credit card) people. At the same time, they have been making the international lounges nicer.
You can always pay something like $50 for lounge access if you really want to.
By the way, the Tango fare has nothing to do with it - you'd be in the same boat with Flex.

Oops - you are correct.
OP - if lounge access is really important, looks like you'll have to phone AC and see if you can pay the difference for Flex then buy the $50 lounge access fee.
Probably better to just sit in an airport restaurant or since you have a few hours, head to the Sheraton hotel in T3.
