OK folks,this thread is fun but is in grave danger of not serving its purpose (at least for these short dated Feb 28 2019 passes).

With under 72hrs to use these our mission as FTers has changed. No more reporting they are 'still there' or 'we don't need them... Just find someone, anyone, to use them!

Nobody wants to look at these year 2015 phone books in another 5 years and find expired coupons while frantically searching for someone's landline phone #.

LOLL and Exactly!

My mission to hand out the last few I have was interrupted when the 4 of us arrived after our mini-do on AC 101 on Feb 23, and we walked past the Dom MLL on our way to international side. Should my upcoming flights not get messed up due to "OMG, snow in YYZ", I will hopefully have time to hand out the last few to folks who will possibly be excited by MLL food and snacks, other than kale and edamame.

I give all ours to a group of young researchers who do some work travel but have no status and will never have. They have a lottery to see who gets. Anyone got any left over for the next year who havent / wont use who wants to add PM me 😄

Mine are all gone - gave the last 4 to a group of 4 who were sitting on the couches outside the lounge in YVR yesterday. First year I've not had any left over!

phonebook thing is not working as well/as quickly as we need.

So this afternoon I gave my last 3 expiring vouchers to LAX MLL attendant. She promised they would get used by passengers who would otherwise be turned away (families who aren't allowed enough guests etc).

I had 2 left in my pocket when I was leaving YVR the other day. Had planned to leave them in a phone book in YYC.

However, there were several passengers who were getting IDB because of an aircraft downgauge - this was happening as Z1 was boarding. Walked by 2 lovely older ladies who had a look of utter shock that AC had just told them they couldn't leave on the 12:25 and now had to fly out at 5:30.

Was thrilled to be able to stop a brief moment and hand them the passes as I boarded.

I hope they drank more booze than ladies of that vintage should and stuffed their faces with chocolate chip cookies.

I was going to participate in the treasure hunt instead but the opportunity very clearly presented itself...
