Adding to Dorian's objections. Even if the passenger gets up to leave for the gate at t-15 minutes, the table does not immediately become available because presumably the staff would clear, clean, and prep the table first before seating the next client.
How long do you think it would take to clean, clear, prep, and seat, from first passenger stand up to next passenger sit down? 5 Mins, can we model this, and does it change anything?

Has anyone been here in the morning yet?
I have not seen any information regarding "breakfast hours" food offerings posted anywhere so far. Wondering what to expect before AC15 which departs at around 10:00am.
Appreciate any insight on this.

Had my first experience in the Signature Suite earlier this week.
It was truly outstanding. There are two main sections- one buffet style and one restaurant/menu style. And a full bar with bartender.
The staff are super friendly and very service oriented.
I sat in the restaurant-style side of the Suite...
I had a full, 3-course meal and was by far the best food I have eaten in any airport....ever!
Appetizer: B.C. Albacore Tuna Tataki, daikon, watermelon radish, avocado, puffed white rice, ponzu....
Main course for me was Braised Beef Cheek, butternut squash puree, braised rapini, fresh squash and tomatillo salsa....
Dessert was Salted caramel pot de creme, whipped creme fraiche, butterscotch, vanilla Breton...
Plus a nice Gin Martini and a nice Canadian Pinot Noir...
Lastly, the person I was with had the Grilled lamb chops, roasted cauliflower, yogurt, mint chermoula...

Anything you want from what I can see....I did not sit at the bar, but you can order a seemingly wide variety of cocktails, a martini like I did, beer, wine, etc.
I doubt they will have lesser know or obscure spirits, but you can always ask!
And I'm sorry, but I did not check on the what kinds of scotches they carried, but I should have...I'll leave that up to the next person to sleuth out.

I dropped my cloth napkin on the ground while seated, and before I could pick it up and return it to my knee, a Manager had run over with a fresh one for me.
