The Desjardins Odyssey Lounge is located at Montréal-Trudeau International Airport, inside the International Zone. Only people flying to an international destination can enter. It is not available to those flying within Canada or to the United States.

After baggage check-in and security, the Desjardins Odyssey Lounge is located near boarding gate 63. This type of airport lounge is away from all the hustle and bustle of the airport, allowing you to relax before your flight.

All services are free of charge. These include:

• Eat and drink for free
• Comfortable seating space
• Connect to free Wi-Fi service
• Watching the ballet of planes coming and going outside on the runway

The lounge is like the Salon Air France or Salon Banque Nationale, on the second floor. So there’s a staircase or elevator to get there.
