I’m on AC 15 this morning.

There are actually quite a few people in here. Mostly the LHR crowd.

And Paul the Barista Is charming me with his beautiful art
I guess it’s too early for the martini ‘art’ I got yesterday.

Not just Ontario. I know YVR also doesn't serve before 11. If I was guessing I think all the domestic MLLs don't serve before 11am local

Right
But Ontario is still a nanny-state

Still, a very nice breakfast in the Suite this morning and we are now taxiing on AC 15

and BC isn’t? Using nanny state in the context of arcane drinking laws yet ignoring that other jurisdictions in Canada have the same (or very very similar) restrictions distorts the truth of the situation #fakenews

I wasn’t actuallly referring to drinking laws when I said nanny-state, just my opinion

Either way, the visit to the Suite was great

I actually like the Suite in the morning.



















I love this glass wall.




























I like this glass water bottle.




Paul the Barista and his creative efforts for me at dawn.







Love this




But he said to wait, he's not done yet







Awwww

Am about to book a AC flight for MIA-YYZ-CPH in J.

I have the option of choosing a MIA departure at noon or at 4.30 pm. The former will give me 5,5 hours layover, the latter just 1 hour 15 min. I've never travelled throgh YYZ before, but presume that the short layover will not leave enough time to visit this lounge. I'm quite eager to try it out, but of course wary that over 5 hours is a bit excessive.

Which departure would people in here choose?

TIA

Most normal people would choose the 1 hr 15 min.....But many FT people would choose the 5.5 hours.

I would probably choose the longer layover to avail myself of the Signature Suite. I would especially do so if it was wintertime.

Relax, have a good meal then go straight to sleep on the way to CPH.

Let us know what you decide.

+1,000 with the others above.

Also, an AC international flight begins boarding approximately 1 hour prior to departure, so keep that in mind. You simply won't have much time to enjoy the SSL, if your flight from MIA arrives on time.
