2026 Update: The V.I.P. Lounge by Club Med at Quebec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) has been temporarily closed since August 3, 2025, at 11:59 PM to allow for a complete overhaul of the offering. The official reopening date has not yet been announced. We will update this article as soon as new information becomes available.

Since December 2, 2021, passengers at Quebec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) could enjoy a new lounge: the V.I.P. Lounge by Club Med. You can also view our full photo report on this lounge.

This opening coincided with the opening of Club Med Quebec Charlevoix.

The lounge offered a view of the runways and Mount Bélair. It was located near Gate 29, after security.

This VIP lounge at Quebec City Airport featured an open-concept design with a fireplace and comfortable armchairs. Food and beverage services were provided by the Quebec-based caterer Nourcy.

Travellers ordered from an online menu and were served directly at their table. A selection of beers, wines, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages was available.
