Why does YYT not have priority security for S100K and Elite members?
I was there a few days ago, and there were literally 100+ people in the line. I asked the agent if they had priority security line for Super Elite, and she literally said "What's Super Elite?" I just gave up and joined the masses.
YYT has a MLL, concierges, priority checkin, and priority boarding. However, I am wondering why they don't have priority security for those passengers that have AC status?

Apologies, but this calls for a new T-shirt: "What's Super Elite?"

I cannot answer that question, but I believe they have NEXUS, right?
That usually cuts you to the front of the line.
I've had concierges pull me along shouting "COME ON SIR, YOU'RE GOING TO MISS YOUR FLIGHT", when I had 2 hours. I didn't ask for it. But they sure know what to say to make people not hate you as you cut in front of them

Do they happen to have Nexus?

YQR doesn't have it either....and they used to. I am not sure when it disappeared, but we used to be able to get right into the left lane, which was also for Nexus. Nowadays we are herded with the regular cattle. Not usually a biggie, but last week it was a pain.

I'm still waiting for a line that requires both SE and NEXUS.

I don't have Nexus....and never will. Such a pain in the .... My wife and her entire family have it, and they always look at me funny when I go get into the Prioroty lane, or if there isn't one, the (dreaded) regular lane.

YYT doesn't have the room for a priority security line at present but likely will do when the redeveloped and expanded terminal opens. I'm a member of the PaEx focus panel for the airport authority so let me ask the question.
YYT is really busy at specific times: 5-6.30am being the worst. I do most of my flying in the evening on 822 to LHR & security is breeze even without a priority line then.
