Not sure this is the right thread to post
I had a few passes that were going to expire and I was in between flights at YVR. I saw people sitting on the circular couches outside the door and I asked each of them if they had AC BPs. They all did. So I handed them passes and suggested they enjoy lunch in the MLL. They all had that "what?" look on their faces. It was amusing. And they didn't get up. I said I would take them to the MLL desk to make sure they got in and suggested they grab their stuff and go. The comments were the usual thanks, wow and such. I wished them a fun stay (well, edamame and kale are only so much fun really) and suggested they pay it forward. I still remember the look on one guy's face. Almost like he won a prize on a game show. Yes, yes, I know what you're all thinking. Still, that's what these passes are for.
One woman asked me "But don't you need those passes for yourself?" Another person sitting nearby with status tags answered and said no, that we have access due to status and receive these passes as "benefits" to share.

I also have a bunch of extra unneeded.
Flight again next week I'll try to give them at the airport.

I have 6 of these guest passes for the domestic/transborder MLL lounge expiring Feb 29/20 that I will not use.
If you can make use of them, send me a PM with your mailing address and I'll drop it in the mail.

Lounge Guest Pass for AC flight operated by TS
I wanted to give two of my guest passes that expire at the end of the month to a friend flying to CUN soon.
However, I just realized that their flight is operated by TS A330 (aircraft and crew).
This daily flight (AC2426) is only sold by AC. It doesn’t appear on airtransat.com
Maybe people who took Omni or Qatar flights have insights?
Would they be granted access or should I find other people to give them to? Please dont be biased by the fact I may offer them on here 😜😜😜

Aren’t they able to use the domestic lounge and go to the international section only to board their flight? (It’s in YUL so you can’t access the Intl if you fly domestic but you can access the domestic lounge if you fly Intl)

I guess if it's over an hour it may be worth hiding out from the muggles, especially if they themselves are new (but make sure they are aware they are a 20 minute walk from their gate)

I've got two domestic/ TB expiring Feb 29. I'm happy to just drop them in the mail to the first person to PM. I'm mailing them from the States so probably better to use on flights later in the month.
