The many here and elsewhere who've offered MLL passes reminded me of what it was like in Feb of this year, with few people flying and empty airports. Part of my post.....
****
I flew a number of times before the expiry date of the old 2020 paper passes and carried them with me, hoping to find someone who could enjoy them. But there was no one even lurking around the entry to the MLLs.
On a flight to YVR at the end of February, I met a group who were headed west to celebrate a birthday. I saw them standing at the gate in YVR after we deplaned and I asked them what time was their cnx flight. I invited them to follow me to the MLL. I had enough passes for 4 of them and guested in the 5th one. They had never been in any airline lounge before, so I gave them a quick tour and how to order.
I should have tried to do similar with the 2021 digital passes. Thus, if we receive the same type of digital ones for 2022, I might just make things easier and print them up and carry them with me when I'm travelling.
.
As I was standing in front of this space at YVR while on a couple of recent trips, looking at the empty couches in front of the MLL.....
........
In the Now Times, few are flying but I still took the lounge passes with me, hoping I could give them away at YYZ or YVR......

I don't know if there's a good way to do this, but given I'm in an airport with every flight delayed right now, I could probably be an intermediary for gifting passes.
Maybe something to consider for late next year.
