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

Yep. Also see info in my posts 1769 and 1800. And since this week's flights do not include YVR, I didn't ask if they fixed the coffee machine that a few of us noted was out of service.

I'm at the FRA MLL now. Overheard that the lounge was closed for a year and half but just reopened last week. Breakfast is scrambled eggs, beans, and some meat. An attendant serves it toyou. The LH lounge pretzels are here too.

For the past hour, the desk agent has been playing your guide. Almost every person trying to enter is flying international. She has to explain to every single one how to get to the International MLL.
i asked here what was up. She said the check-in agents were telling all the pax that international only opens at 11:00 and were sending all the pax to Dom security.
No wonder the Dom security line had a full snake and at least 100 people if not more and this was at 05:00.
This a long line here in both directions as some people wait to get in only to find out they could be elsewhere, while those leaving form another line for the elevators.
One guy and his wife decided to stay and then said there isn’t much to eat. I said since your flight departs international, why don’t you head there. He said it was a 3-day walk to get there snd he’d need to hire a Sherpa.
So much comedy

YYC MLL now open until 00:30, which means pax taking redeyes finally can use the lounge.
Hot food still only runs until 19:00 though.

Awesome!
LOL, had just posted a question about the YYC MLL - thank you Adam!
Is the 7:00pm cut off for ordering the food (do you order it or buffet style)? Depending on which gate our flight from YEG arrives at, we have a really good shot at being at the lounge at something like 6:45. Would that give us time to get hot grub?
Also, another question. Some PP lounges we've been to have "family" type areas, and some even have couch/bed style seating where you can really relax. We are travelling with a 3 and 8 year old, and the little one will be ready to crap out by 9 or so. Is there an area at the YYC MLL that would be conducive to her getting some rest during a 5-6 hour layover before our 00:45 red-eye (we got upgauged to a new config 333 btw!!! Two widebodies to YYZ that evening)

Hopefully the YYZ Dom MLL isn't at 100% capacity right now.
can someone please confirm that 18Y JW is being served in the YYZ Dom MLL?
apparently right now it's JW Red and 18Y JW.
Added: here is the grainy, but obvious (to Scotch drinkers)...
