This annual thread replaces the original 2008 - 2014 thread on the topic may be found here and the latest 2015 -2016 thread here.

Please note that due to recent updates to site-wide forum best practices Maple Leaf Lounge (MLL) entry passes may only be freely shared but not solicited in any form. Posts asking for passes will be deleted.

This thread isn't meant to serve as a substitute for the trading of airline instruments as those transactions are to be done within the Coupon Connection forum which does require a minimum number of posts & time on FT to be eligible to enter. This thread is meant to freely offer lounge entry passes to fellow forum members.

Slightly off topic, but is there a type of lounge pass that allows access to the international lounges? From my experience, it's only domestic and transborder.

TWO PASSES available for in-Canada request.

I will contribute stamp /envelope, but you commit to actually use them before month-end.

PM with your address.

Thanks Adam and Nomad,

I am flying them to PHX, and Scott provided me with enough passes for them.

No. Entry requires flying international business class, E50k/Gold *A status, being guested in, or paying for it. $25 on. PY/Lat fare of $50 on Flex. Prebooking only.

I believe you can also pay $15 or $25 to gain access with someone else who is eligible but this is normally if there are 4 of you trying to gain entry where only one person has access and a single guest. So not familiar with this approach.

It seems the info in the thread wiki has been overlooked as this thread is only for gifting lounge passes, not soliciting lounge passes.

Can someone clarify it for me? Passenger is holding a round trip international economy tickets (CA metal, USA-Toronto-Asia and back) and the pass (gifted, did not purchase when booking). Passenger himself does not hold any status/credit card, etc. Such passenger cannot access the Int'l lounge @ T1 YYZ, and only way to access the lounge is if a legit member is willing to guest you in, correct?

Basically, correct.

The easy rule to look at is that the MLL Pass is not eligible for the international MLL. That renders all other questions regarding access with the pass, moot (you mentioned CA metal, you didn't mention status etc.)

You know, I thought I searched high and low but could not quite pin point where AC site says purchased MLL pass is not eligible to enter MLL international lounge. But, it's good to know that MLL Pass (I take gifted or purchased) will not permit access to international lounge. Thanks, again. Oh, and of course, no status. wish to have that.

Can you define "purchased" in this context?

Regarding airline, one must be flying on an Air Canada (or affiliates) operated flight to use the MLL Pass at an eligible MLL. So just say someone was flying on a United operated flight out of YVR, although the pass is eligible for the YVR transborder MLL, the user would not be eligible as they are flying United.

Good question. I am also not sure if one can purchase "international lounge accessible" pass while booking international ticket on AC site. I take one can "purchase" MLL pass up to check in, but does that pass also guarantee access to international lounge? I've not tried this yet so I have no idea. Purchased outside of AC website (?), i.e., bought from someone who just happened to have excess pass, I take this type will not let anyone into the int lounge, correct?

Was I supposed to get 2 more for hitting P25K? Only got two with E35k.

Thanks!
