Introducing a new "sport" - the Cross Canada MLL Pub Crawl.
I was inspired to this by another thread regarding MLL access at different airports, but on the same day. If you buy MLL access for $25, it includes access at all airports where you "depart" in one direction. So here's the deal...
Buy the cheapest YVR-YYT fare you can find, and add on the MLL fee. Just make sure you work in as many segments as possible. Then hit each MLL along the way, and indulge.

It has been done before at a rather reasonable rate. Less than the MLL fee, in fact. Simply purchase the cross-Canada "Welcome Aboard Pass" that was available last winter and combine it with the CIBC Aerogold Privileges program.
51 segments worked out to less than $25 per flight.
Due to winter operations, it even came with a few bonus hotel nights and a VDB voucher (not multi thousand denominations, mind you).

First, you have to buy a TANGO+ fare. Second, the voucher only permits access to the first flight segment MLL, it is not a day pass as offered by US airlines so your whole thesis doesn't work out. You'd need a separate pass for each departing airport. There is a clear different between the "point of departure" and the "connection point".

Now, you have got me thinking- how many lounges with a drink have I hit in 24 hours?? I think the record for me must be MEL,SYD,SIN,FRA...cannot come up to a way for more than 4 in a day.. perhaps we need to start a new thread "lounge runner?"... or at least coin a new term.

they crack the seal on the keg at something like 11 AM don't they? So that takes a few hours out of your quaffing schedule. However if you are moving west you could essentially stay in step and run out the day in the Vacouver lounge, hopefully you don't have a US connecting flight at that point and are too impaired to to answer the DHS questions!
