"decent amount of seating space"

(Canada)

Trip Verified | The Maple Leaf Lounge Transborder lounge was nothing special. I had access through my Star Alliance Gold status. It had a decent amount of seating space available for guests, despite the morning period being a peak time for US flights. The food selection was very limited- cereal, boiled eggs, fruits and pastries. The same was with dinner choices when I visited the International section few months ago. These are breakfast choices people could have at home in their daily life and this does not bring premium quality to Air Canada's Business and Elite frequent flyers. The expectations of lounge food are probably different in North America then. The lounge was pretty quiet despite a lot of people. Staff were polite and promptly cleaned utensils and cutlery on site.

"sets a new standard"

(United States)

Not Verified | The Signature Suite sets a new standard for airline lounges, the only negative is that the food is of such high quality that one tends to overeat and not be hungry onboard. Entry is limited to paid business class (Signature Class for Air Canada) passengers so is not crowded. Upon entry, they determine how much time you have until your flight and time permitting, offer a choice of dining room service with menu or buffet, I chose the dining room, but checked out the buffet and it was well above above. This high standard also applied to the cocktails, wine and beer service. Wait staff walked about the lounge in case you want a refill or new drink. All in all, best in class.

"A sad lounge"

(United States)

Trip Verified | A sad lounge. Something out of the 1970s. Small and looking out onto half barrier walls. Seats are uncomfortable. Little round tables from Office Depot or something. Not much to choose from — broccoli was ok, hummus ok, cut pita was stale, cookies were ‘crisp’ and pretty disgusting, espresso maker was broken.

"the lounge was spotless"

(Canada)

Trip Verified | The lounge in Calgary has been recently renovated and upgraded. Comfortable seats, great views, hot food (soup, pasta, vegetables) and full bar service, no longer self serve and minimally stocked, the bartender now serves you upon request from a fully stocked bar. Staff were friendly and the lounge was spotless. This is my major annoyance with airport lounges globally, most (not all) are crowded as they should be in a busy airport but most are untidy with used plates, cutlery and glasses left everywhere waiting to be collected while passengers look for any vacant seat to occupy. Not at this lounge, it was busy but extremely clean. The fireplace is a nice touch.

"really love that place"

(Germany)

Trip Verified | I visited this lounge using my Star Alliance Gold Status even though I was flying with Lufthansa. The Air Canada Maple Leaf Club is very good and worth the walk. It offers a good bar service (even fresh milkshakes), good food offerings, a shower area and a quiet zone. When I was there, the lounge was quite empty. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I really love that place.

"Some eggs would be nice"

(Canada)

Trip Verified | Most Air Canada lounges that I've visited are spacious, have a good wifi signal, and are kept clean and tidy. My biggest complaint with them, however, is that the food is absolutely awful. This morning I got off a 9 hour flight from Tokyo to Vancouver and have a few hours before continuing on to Toronto. I thought I would come to the Maple Leaf Domestic Lounge and have some breakfast. On offer today is sugary yogurt cups, bananas, Cheerios and stale bread. Some eggs would be nice.

"denied access to the lounge"

(Canada)

Not Verified | As a privilege of being an Aeroplan Visa card holder I am to have access to the lounge once a year. My husband and I each have our own cards. I was denied access to the lounge because the flight was booked with my husbands points, although he was with me and the card holder info says you can bring a guest on the one time visit. I was told I would have to pay! Are you kidding me?! We both have our own cards and secondary cards on each other's accounts. That equals a lot of fees and I can't even access the card holder Privileges. According the the lady at the counter we would each have to book our flights separately with our own visa and own Aeroplan points to meet her requirements. Yeah that's convenient - all married couple prefer to travel that way.

"very friendly and welcoming"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | As a passenger on EVA Air business class I was invited to use Air Canada's lounge in London Heathrow's terminal 2. The staff at the reception was very friendly and welcoming. I used the lounge at around 7-8 pm and it was fairly empty. Plenty of seats by floor to ceiling window. The food and beverage selection was poor, and that was the biggest disappointment and the ambiance was lacking. I prefer the Plaza Premium lounge which is provided to most of the Priority Pass members. Nevertheless it was a soothing place to be before a long flight.

"great looking, modern and spacious"

(United Kingdom)

Verified Review | The lounge itself is great looking, modern and spacious, but does not have a separate business centre (just two computers and a few high chairs to work on in a corner of the lounge). Staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is varied (with good vegetarian options), and good variety of (alcoholic) drinks. However, due to a flight delay, many passengers had to wait at the airport for up to 6 hours or more. Despite so many passengers in the international departures lounge being stranded, they closed at the advertised time of 11.15pm. There were no exceptions made due to the exceptional circumstances, and many were obviously upset to be asked to leave when they still had hours to wait till their long-delayed Air Canada flights.
