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.

MLL Passes on offer: 2018
Have three MLL passes expiring February 28th 2018. PM if wanted. Would like to spread them around but will consider a "couple".
NB: These cannot be used at the YYZ/YUL/YVR International MLLs, just Domestic and Transborder. And you must be flying AC metal within North America, no UA flights or STAR codeshares.

It looks like I'll have one final one going spare. The last one I sent out just took 7-8 working days (Thurs-Mon) to make it from YYZ to YVR so it'd be for someone wanting to use it 15/2 to 28/2 I'd guess.
To try and avoid issues reported up-thread I will require and be writing Name, Date and Flight on it (not that that's foolproof). Anyone I met at the YYZ do gets first dibs. I'm also downtown YYZ occasionally if anyone wants to grab it directly.
Edit: Clearly there are certain people who would take my last pass and hand it out to random strangers or colleagues - you know who you are. So we could likely forego the writing on part.

I was not able to use the MLL that was given to me during the YYZ DO, at this time I still have 2 left. If anyone wants it, please send me a msg, or we can meet up in YYZ for pick up. The 2 passes expires in Feb 2018.

To be honest if someone is that hard up that they want to sell it for $25 and risk the wrath of AC ... Maybe I should just have more faith in my fellow human beings and FTers? What'd ya say?

This is, I feel, rare for many people. It's a fair concern however, so perhaps just the name. Or nothing at all.

Unfortunately I'll be in YYZ international on Saturday, so they're totally useless there.

If she's not, I'm not clearing Canadian immigration for a US to INTL connection
On Sunday, I'll be TB, and can hand them out very easily.
