Actually really like the setting of the YVR TB MLL, the high up view on one side overlooking the inside of the terminal on the other side a nice view of the gates and the aircraft.

My issue is the cold breakfast options aren't always the best - the seating/view is great.

As unfortunately I have to conduct business on the fly, my main concern on the YVR MLL is the general lack of power outlets. If the lounge gets close to full, it may be difficult to find one.

If AC had been using a different (more $) import brand, I'd blame it on reduced Russian exports.
Also didn't have JW Black the other day.

The fork issue seems to be ongoing. Some of the Compass staff seem to NGAF.

Was it "policed" properly, or was it the typical free for all with DGAF agents?

Yes, at least it was on a Thursday 2 weeks ago when I took that flight. They have different hours for Thursday/Saturday to accommodate.

Large "line" (crowd) stretching from inside to outside of the lobby entry area.
An agent re-directed us all outside into the 2x lines. Then would allow a few in at a time.
So somewhat policed I guess.

I'm in the YVR Domestic MLL. Actually pretty quiet in here.

Lots of available seats despite several of the afternoon YYZ flights being delayed, including mine.

Salmon and pasta on offer for dinner.

I've cleaned up the shower info in the wiki a bit to try to make it a bit more legible. For those of you keen on that topic, keep in mind that every time you edit a wiki, the stupid FT software creates an extraneous line at the end of the wiki, so please scroll down and delete it before you save the update.

YVR TB lounge

We will have a 2 & 1/2 hr layover in YVR 7-930 am on our way to OGG in a couple weeks.
Ive read that their breakfast offerings are pretty weak. Can anyone comment if any changes since the "enhancements"
and if the lineups approach anything near the Domestic lounge? Im thinking breakfast in the Canucks bar
across the way since no bar service until 11 AM in MLL anyway!

No (or at least for those I care)

Lineup appears to be fine, possibly because most pax may have spent most of their time in the long line leading to the immigration control ...
If you like to drink in early morning like I do, MLL is pretty mediocre to say the least ...

I think mimosas or caesars with breakfast at the Canucks bar at 8 am on the way to Maui is the way to go. Nothing in the MLL that we want or need
at that time of day as youve said.
