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

Good day all, flying AC PY with practically no status (Star Alliance silver) - wondering if anyone's had experience with purchasing MLL access on an intl flight out of YYZ? I have a few hours to waste in the evening thanks to AC's brilliant schedule changes, when I was looking at my MLL options I noticed they explicitly mentioned that any purchased pass would give me access to the domestic lounge only. I'm not arriving on a connecting flight. Would security allow me to enter the D gates area where the domestic lounge is? How easy (or how far) would it be to get to E gates from D? Any answers are appreciated!

Right now the ONLY security open at YYZ takes you into the domestic area--then you follow the same signs that connecting passengers going to an international connection follow. So--yes-- Domestic MLL.

You might be able to buy access if you pull up your booking on AC.com, which would give you international access. But I'm not sure they've restarted MLL access sales.

I think they restarted single-use MLL passes earlier last year, although I have been avoiding YYZ altogether due to the chronic ramp delays. My SO (SE50k) got turned away at YYZ domestic MLL last month because they were full to the brim due to all the late evening flights that got delayed for no apparent reason. When I logged in to buy MLL access the website very clearly indicated that the purchased pass is only good for the domestic MLL regardless of destination, which I think also contributes to the mess but I'm just guessing.

Unfortunately, I don't have any bookings eligible for this (they're either in business class, partially flown, or maybe they're recognizing that with my status, it doesn't make sense to offer it).
But if you pull up your booking on AC.com, are you able to click this option, and purchase MLL access? Is that where it says it's only valid for domestic/transborder lounges?
The MLL access page does say "Note: Suspended until further notice". But it wouldn't be the first time that was wrong.

So I want to be clear I've never done this myself so I could be wrong, but I want to make sure you're definitely doing what I'm suggesting.
