How to Access the Airport Lounges at Toronto Pearson International Airport

As you may know, settling in to an airport lounge before your flight is a great way to enjoy a quieter environment, some free snacks and drinks, a comfortable chair, and maybe even a shower.
However, what you may not yet know is: how the heck do you even get in to one of these lounges?
In this guide, we’ll answer this question with an overview of the lounges available at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and details on how you can access each of them.

Toronto Pearson International Airport Layout
Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is divided into two terminals: Terminal 1 and Terminal 3.
Within each terminal, there are departure zones for domestic flights, international flights, and US/transborder flights.
Typically you can move between the domestic zones and the international zones without too much trouble (though there will be a fair bit of walking); however, the US/transborder zone is located past US Pre-Clearance, so once you’re in this space, you’re not able to able to go elsewhere, and equally, travellers who are not going to the US are not able to access this area.



Lounges at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ)
There are a number of airport lounges between the two terminals at Toronto Pearson International Airport:
| Airport Zone | Available Lounges |
|---|---|
| Terminal 1 – Domestic | Air Canada Café (near Gate D20) Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge (near Gate D20) Plaza Premium Lounge (near Gate D20) |
| Terminal 1 – US/Transborder | Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge (near Gate F52) Plaza Premium Lounge (near Gate F55) |
| Terminal 1 – International | Air Canada Lounge (near Gate E77) Air Canada Signature Suite (near Gate E77) Plaza Premium Lounge (near Gate E77) |
| Terminal 3 – Domestic | Plaza Premium (near Gate B24) |
| Terminal 3 – US/Transborder | American Airlines Admirals Club (near Gate A10) Plaza Premium (near Gate A10) |
| Terminal 3 – International | KLM Crown Lounge (near Gate C33) Plaza Premium (near Gate C32) |
To understand how to access these areas of respite let’s look at each lounge or lounge type to see what you need to enjoy a some snacks, a free drink or two, and a quiet reprieve while you wait for your flight.

Plaza Premium Lounges
There are 6 Plaza Premium Lounges at Toronto Pearson International Airport, with one in each of the airport’s different zones.
These lounges are open to the general public through paid access and through complimentary lounges passes that are available with many excellent credit cards.
To use your eligible credit card to access a Plaza Premium lounge, you’ll be redeeming a pass through one of the following lounge programs and subscriptions:
- Plaza Premium
- Priority Pass
- DragonPass (via Visa Airport Companion)
- Mastercard Travel Pass (with DragonPass)
The program/subscription that you’ll use to access an airport lounge with your complimentary passes will depend on the card(s) you have, so make sure to check out the details on our credit card pages or in your card’s terms and conditions.
Also, keep in mind that you can often pre-book your time in a Plaza Premium lounge for a fee of $5 USD. This option can be very helpful since lounges in both terminals have become quite popular, and there can often be a wait to get in during busier times.

Credit Cards with Lounge Access
By holding the right credit card, you can earn valuable rewards that help you access free travel, you can save on travel insurance and car rentals, and, of course, you can get free access to airport lounges around the world.

1 Offer description and conditions: The 25,000 Scene+ points offer (the « offer ») applies only to new Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card credit card accounts (the « accounts ») opened between August 4, 2026 and November 1, 2026 (regardless of the date you apply for the account) subject to the conditions below. The offer may be modified, cancelled or extended at any time without notice, and it cannot be combined with any other offer.
In addition, as a Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Cardholder, you are eligible for an annual bonus of 10,000 Scene+ points if you charge at least $40,000 in eligible everyday purchases to your Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card account over the course of one year.

Description and conditions of the 25,000 bonus Scene+ points offer: To be eligible for the 25,000 bonus Scene+ points offer (« 25,000 bonus points »), you must charge at least $2,000 in total eligible purchases to your account within the first three months following the account opening date.
Conditions for the annual 10,000 Scene+ points bonus:
As a Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card credit cardholder, you can earn an annual bonus of at least 10,000 Scene+ points (the « annual points bonus ») if you charge at least $40,000 in eligible purchases to your account over the course of one year (12-month period). The annual period begins on the account opening date; a new period starts again every twelve months thereafter. If you replace another Scene+-eligible credit card with the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card (i.e., it is not a new card or an additional card), the opening date of your original account will be carried over to your new Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card account and your annual period under this offer will begin on the next anniversary date of your original account opening. For example, if you originally opened a Scotiabank Gold American Express® Card account on January 15, 2022 and you switch to the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite +* Card on July 15, 2025, your annual period under the 10,000 Scene+ points annual bonus offer will begin on January 15, 2026 (your next anniversary date) and a new period will start again on January 15 each year thereafter.

If an additional cardholder makes the transaction that reaches the eligible purchase threshold for the 25,000 bonus points, or the annual points bonus, the bonus points will be credited to the Scene+ account linked to the primary borrower’s account. It is possible to transfer points between the Scene+ accounts of a primary borrower, a co-borrower or an additional cardholder by contacting Scene+. An account is in good standing if it is not past due, there is no over-limit, and the cardholder(s) have complied with the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement that applies to the account.

1 This offer only applies to new applications for an RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege credit card received between “August 13, 2026” and “November 25, 2026” (“Offer Period”) and approved by Royal Bank of Canada (“Royal Bank”) subject to the conditions below. Additional cardholders(s) (co-applicant and authorized user(s)) on the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege account, as well as existing cardholders on any RBC Royal Bank personal credit card account transferring to an RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege account during the Offer Period, are not eligible for the offer.
35,000 welcome Avion points (“Welcome Points”) will appear on your monthly credit card statement within sixty (60) days after your application has been approved, provided that your RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege credit card account (“Credit Card Account”) remains open and in good standing at the time the Welcome points are credited to your account, “good standing” meaning that your Credit Card Account must not be past due for more than two (2) consecutive credit card account statement periods, closed, charged off or in credit revoked status.
You will receive 20,000 bonus Avion points (“Bonus Points”) if a total of $5,000 or more (“Qualifying Transaction Amount”) in qualifying net purchases and/or pre-authorized bill payment transactions (“Qualifying Transactions”) are posted to your Credit Card Account within the first six (6) months from your Credit Card Account opening date (“Period”). The Bonus Points will appear on your monthly credit card statement within sixty (60) days after you reach $5,000 in Qualifying Transactions, provided your Credit Card Account remains open and in good standing at the time the Bonus Points are credited to your account.
Qualifying Transactions exclude cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set up with a merchant), interest charges and fees, and credits for returns and adjustments posted to your Credit Card account during the Period will reduce the amount of your Qualifying Transactions. The Qualifying Transaction Amount is based on the transaction posting date of each Qualifying Transaction, not the transaction date. This means that transactions that take place prior to the last day of the Period will not be considered for the Qualifying Transaction Amount if they have not yet been posted or processed by the merchant, the payment network (Visa) or Royal Bank by the last day of the Period.
45,000 additional Avion points (“Anniversary Points”) will appear on your monthly credit card statement within twelve (12) to sixteen (16) weeks after the one- year anniversary of your account opening, provided that your account remains open and in good standing at the time the Anniversary Points are credited to your account.
If you close or change your Credit Card Account for another type of RBC Royal Bank credit card before the Welcome Points, the Bonus Points and/or the Anniversary Points have been credited to your account, you may lose the benefit of this offer. This offer may not be combined or used in conjunction with any other offer. Royal Bank reserves the right to cancel, modify or withdraw this offer at any time without notice, even after your application has been approved, including if we suspect that you may be manipulating or abusing it, or engaging in any suspicious or fraudulent activity, as determined by Royal Bank in its sole discretion.

KLM Crown Lounge
A great lounge option for those travelling internationally from Terminal 3 is the KLM Crown Lounge located near Gate C32.
Considered one of the best lounges available at Toronto Pearson International Airport, this facility is available for passengers with an international business class ticket on Air France or KLM.
Additionally, you can access the KLM Crown Lounge similarly to Plaza Premium lounges, by using your passes available through Priority Pass and DragonPass (with Visa Airport Companion or Masterpass Travel Pass), or with the eligible American Express credit cards listed in the section above; however, keep in mind that priority will be given to business class and first class ticket holders.

American Airlines Admirals Club
Toronto Pearson International Airport is also home to one of American Airlines’ Admirals Club lounges, located near the duty-free shops in Terminal 3.
It offers food, drinks, shower facilities, and work spaces to make your pre-flight time as stress free as possible.
This friendly and cozy lounge can be accessed by the following travellers:
- Admiral Club members
- First class American Airlines ticket-holders
- OneWorld business class or first class ticket-holders
- OneWorld Sapphire elite status holders
Be Relax Spas
A bit of an outlier within the airport lounge options, Be Relax Spas are not so much a « lounge » since they don’t offer food, drinks, or a place to plug in your laptop; however, they do offer a unique and relaxing way to spend a layover or a couple hours waiting for your departure.
There are 3 Be Relax Spas at Toronto Pearson International Airport, with the following locations:
- Terminal 1 Domestic, near Gate D37
- Terminal 1 US/Transborder, near Gate F54
- Terminal 3 International, near Gate C36
The spas are open to the public, so anyone is welcome to enjoy any of the available services; however, travellers with a Priority Pass membership are also welcome to redeem one of their passes to indulge in their choice of the following treatments:
- Be Back 15-minute Massage plus O2 (~$45 value)
- Be Back 30-minute Massage (~$45 value)
- Polish Change plus Hand Massage (~$45 value)
- Be Feet 10-minute plus O2 (~$49 value)
Access to Airport Lounges for Guests and Children
Determining whether or not you’re allowed to bring a guest with you into a lounge for free or using a pass will depend on the lounge, how you’re accessing it, and the age of your guest. This is because each lounge and each lounge program/subscription tends to have slightly different rules for guests and children.
For example, some credit cards will let you use your complimentary passes for guests, some premium cards let you bring unlimited guests, and some cards don’t let you bring anyone.
To determine what’s allowed for you and your guests, you’ll want to check your card’s specific terms and conditions and the rules of the lounge you plan to visit.
For guests travelling with children, you can usually expect that children under 2 years old will be free to enter with an eligible adult, and children who are 2 years or older will be required to redeem/purchase a guest pass.
Pre-Trip Checklist
Before you settle in to your airport lounge experience, there’s a few pre-trip items that you’ll likely want to check off your planning list.
First, you’ll definitely want to make sure that your suitcases fit within your airline’s baggage dimensions and rules to avoid any unnecessary headaches at the check-in counter.
Next, for travellers heading outside of Canada, having a good eSIM can make it super easy to stay connected. With reputable vendors like Holafly, Airalo, and Saily offering eSIMs for hundreds of destinations, you’ll have no trouble finding a data plan that suits your needs.
And finally, before heading out, it’s also a good idea to consider signing up for a VPN service like NordVPN to keep your data safe and to help you watch your favourite TV shows from just about anywhere in the world.
Bottom Line
Putting your feet up at an airport lounge while you’re waiting for your flight at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is a great way to spend your pre-departure hours.
If you want to access airport lounges consistently, we recommend a card like the American Express Platinum Card® or the Business Platinum Card® from American Express, which provide unlimited access to over 1,400 lounges around the world.
Alternatively, if you’ve got your eye on Air Canada’s Maple Leaf Lounges, consider a card like the American Express® Aeroplan®* Reserve Card, which gives you access as long as you’re flying Air Canada or a Star Alliance partner airline.

Certain conditions may apply. Only the primary cardholder of a National Bank World Elite Mastercard (Cardholder) whose account is in good standing can request a « Travel Fee Reimbursement ». « Account in good standing » means an account linked to the credit card that does not violate the Credit Card Agreement in any way and on which no restrictions apply.

National Bank reserves the right to request additional supporting documents for validation purposes (e.g., invoices). You must keep all receipts and supporting documents for a period of 12 months from the date you made your reimbursement request. An unused reimbursement in one year cannot be carried over to the next year. You can make your request online at rewards.nbc.ca or by calling 1-800-341-8083 (toll-free) for an agent to assist you with your travel fee reimbursement request. - Point accumulation on grocery and restaurant spending depends on the total gross monthly amount charged to the credit card account, across all categories. Earn 5 points per dollar spent on eligible grocery and restaurant purchases. The 5 points per dollar accumulation is valid for the first $2,500 of gross monthly purchases charged to the account. Beyond this amount, eligible grocery and restaurant spending will earn 2 points per dollar. The calculation of the gross monthly purchase amount is based on monthly billing. A grocery purchase means a purchase made at a merchant whose primary business is selling food, such as a grocery store, delicatessen, supermarket, fruit store, or specialty food store. Meal kit subscriptions and meal delivery services are eligible. Therefore, this definition excludes, among others, retail stores and big-box stores whose primary business is selling non-food items. Some merchants may sell products or services identical or similar to those of eligible merchants, or are separate merchants located on the same premises as eligible merchants, but are classified by Mastercard in different categories. Purchases made from other merchants only earn base reward points. A restaurant purchase means a purchase made at a restaurant, including quick-service restaurants, bars, discotheques, nightclubs, and taverns. To view the full list of Mastercard codes associated with eligible merchants, download the À la carte Rewards Plan® terms and conditions document.
- These protections apply if the purchases or rental are paid for in part with the card before departure, except, if applicable, for out-of-province medical-hospital insurance for which it is not necessary to charge the purchase of an à la carte trip and for baggage delay protection where the full cost of transport must have been charged to the card. All these protections apply to the primary cardholder, their spouse and/or their dependent children when they (spouse and dependent children) travel with the cardholder. Extended warranties apply to most new items purchased with the card, in Canada or abroad, provided the manufacturer’s warranty exists and is valid in Canada. Certain conditions, limitations and restrictions apply. For more information and details regarding your insurance coverage, please consult the insurance certificate linked to your card.
- Subject to credit approval by National Bank.
- Certain conditions apply. Visit mastercard.ca for more information. See all credit card terms and conditions.
- To earn 2 points per dollar spent, you must pay for your gas or electric charging purchases at a gas station or certain big-box stores. Some merchants may sell products or services identical or similar to those of eligible merchants, or are separate merchants located on the same premises as eligible merchants, but are classified by Mastercard in different categories. Purchases made from other merchants only earn base reward points. To view the full list of Mastercard codes associated with eligible merchants, download the À la carte Rewards Plan® terms and conditions document.
- Recurring bill payments are defined as payments made monthly or regularly that are automatically charged by the merchant to your National Bank World Elite Mastercard. Not all merchants offer recurring payments, and not all recurring payments are considered recurring bill payments. Therefore, some payments may not qualify for accelerated reward points.
