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

I've updated most of the menus today. No real changes in food offerings, but expanded hours for the hot food at many of the lounges.
With so many FTers having recently been to YHZ, I'm surprised no one has commented about the lounge there.

They had spiced rum.
There was nothing comment-worthy
Edit: Didn't realize it wasn't even confirmed open yet. It's open. I don't have hours though.

Is AC still publishing the lounge menus online?
Couldn't find the relevant link.

YYZ typical inefficient food / coffee line. Picked up when they got a third person. Really need to move the coffee to self service.
for some reason check in agent didnt want to see my vaccine status. Are they actually storing this somewhere so they dont ask every time or they just not doing ?

The LHR lounge is open. It has returned to PreCovid service level, self serve food and bar service. They did ask for proof of vaccination to enter.

With the perpetual non-changing anecdotal accounts of long-line up, slow-service experiences (including 1+ hour wait for their hot food order), DG2F staff, and general vendor resource shortages (especially at the YYZ Dom MLL)...
If you had only one choice of the following, what would it be?
1. Current craptastic Domestic MLL experiences due to the aforementioned and upthread issues; OR
2. Pre-pandemic Domestic MLL service including the two types of pickles in the cold food self-serve buffet?

I promise that I will never complain about pickles again. Heck AC can even make it 3 or 4 types of pickles.

The YUL MLL smoked meat sandwiches come with dill pickles, so if you're looking for a pickle, it's only a short Rapidair hop away.

I cry myself to sleep every night hoping that they'll bring back the cold, nongentuple-dipped salsa, and broken shards of tortilla chips, next to the jar of stale cookies.
Just the other day I was dreaming that I was all horny over the pre-pandemic microwaved plastic flatbread pizza of the YUL Dom MLL.
