One of four lounges in Terminal A, and the best-rated of them. A new terminal lounge with room to get work done in peace, a bar worth the visit, and coffee made by a person rather than a button. It seats around 350 and runs a full bar. Hours are 5 AM – 10 PM daily. It opened in 2023. A lounge you'd be glad to have time in. Recorded access options include Maple Leaf Lounge (Co-located: Air Canada customers and Aeroplan elites/cardholders use this United Club, 05:00-21:15), Star Alliance Gold Lounge Access, and United Club. Entry conditions and availability apply.
