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?

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.

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.

Can you define "purchased" in this context?
