Lounge presentation: the only transborder terminal
At Montreal’s Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, YUL, there is an Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge in the international terminal and several other lounges, including the National Bank World Mastercard Lounge, available to Priority Pass members.
Within the transborder terminal, there is only one: the Maple Leaf lounge of Air Canada. Unfortunately – or fortunately say those who can enter – this one is not accessible to Priority Pass members.

The lounge areas are multiple and well distributed with different types of leather chairs depending on whether you want to eat, rest or work. As you can see, this lounge is not crowded in the early morning, it’s comforting!
