As of July 2022, MLLs appear to be largely back to normal operations.

Ordering to the table has been shut down, with most MLLs offering self-serve buffets similar to what was available pre-COVID.

Note that the EWR MLL has been permanently shut down as a result of changes/construction at EWR.

Showers
YYZ​​​​​​ int - closed (Aug 12. They claimed all showers closed at YYZ but I was only at int.)
YVR tb - open
YVR int - open
YUL int - open

YYZ INT. There were another dozen people behind me. I bailed as I only have half an hour. Should have gone to the DOM.

Sucks. I wanted the butter chicken.

Do you know if it was capacity control or just taking that long to validate each passenger with vaccine status, etc.?

Most likely "all of the above".

Also throw in the one agent working the desk while dealing (bickering) with someone who is trying to get in but has absolutely zero valid international-MLL-entry instruments to furnish.

Fair question. I didnt stick around to find out. Perhaps a combination of the two. It cant take that long to check vax status.

YEG MLL - Requires One Dose of a COVID-19 Vaccine or a Negative COVID-19 Test

Edmontons Maple Leaf Lounge is requiring a single dose of a COVID-19 vaccine (presumably administered at least 14 days prior) or a negative COVID-19 test for admission, just like in Calgary. I am at YEG MLL right now - only 2 other passengers in here right now. I took a photo of the sign posted downstairs on the entrance door (Same sign is posted upstairs at the entrance desk.), but need to wait until after my 5th post to add attachments.

Can confirm the LAX MLL is open. Grab and go items only, no table service.

That website has been wrong before, which is why it was listed as possibly open in the wiki, and why I've reverted it to that status.

Wiki updated to reflect vax proof for entry (in other words, no other alternatives/caveats beyond vax proof)
