One would imagine it will feel like a small station MLL

YQR but...newer

Still think the YWG reno is one of the nicest for a small station lounge. Did a great job there.

agreed...and YYT

The YYZ TB MLL is already "light" service... there's barely anything offered there. How much lighter could it be?

No showers, business centre/computers, and no cell-free zone? :p
(grasping at straws)

I'd assume:

- no separate areas in the lounge
-possibly a higher percentage of bar stools / work tables vs. traditional lounge chairs
- no showers
- no business center
- no space / facilities to serve / prepare hot food

I'd expect something along the lines of one room with rather sense seating (mostly bar stools and work tables) and (hopefully) a full self-serve bar with coffee machine and a small area for snacks/fruit/etc.

While I agree with everything you've suggested, hot food barely even exists in YYZ TB. Showers are only in YVR, YYZ, and YUL international (at least within North America).

I just realized how common the business center is though.

So it sounds like YQR or the old YYT (though this one had a business center I think) would be pretty similar.

NM. I realized you meant YUL int'l and not all of the other int'l.
But yeah, that's why I didn't say anything about hot food in my comparison response. TB MLL food is sorely lacking. :p

Probably no lavs in the "light" MLL... go out into the beach area and use the peon lavs. :D

I fully agree. My point was more that AC could offer a decent food spread incl. hot items if it wanted to in its current lounges, but AC has chosen not to in an attempt to save a few bucks. On the other hand, I'd expect the new lounge to not have the capability to serve/prepare hot food in the first place.

True, but all three MLLs at YYZ (int'l, domestic and transborder) have showers - so the new lounge will be different in the context of YYZ lounge facilities.

I interpreted the same as you, but I realized what @canadiancow meant was that all YYZ MLLs have showers, all YVR MLLs have showers, and only YUL international has showers.

The SS doesn't ;)

Only the "regular" Maple Leaf Lounges do :p

True - but I wrote MLLs, and afaik the Signature Suite technically is not considered to be a MLL, is it? :p

I'm sitting in the YYZ TB right now, worth taking a look over by f84 or nothing really of substance yet?

I just arrived back in YYZ, disembarking at the magical & mythical F84 area.

The new lounge is still not open, there's nothing more to see from the outside than the pictures I took yesterday.

Umm ... you guys did all see the pictures I took, right? Including the picture of the inside? It is indeed just one room, and there's a picture of it above.

Yes, that's my belief. You guys kill me asking about showers .... @yyznomad is right, there aren't even bathrooms from what I could see.
