Using the lounge means pampering yourself, in
a peaceful, bright setting overlooking the airport lands. The lounge is more

Vancouver has to offer, including hot and cold meals created using fresh local
produce and West Coast smoked salmon

by an in-house chef
−Wide range of beverages, including beers
from local microbreweries and a selection of wines from local vineyards

where customers can catch up with work in a dedicated business area or watch
the latest news in a separate TV room
−Showers with all the amenities needed to
freshen up pre-flight
SkyTeam’s Vancouver lounge is available to
Elite Plus, first- and business-class customers. So whether it’s a one-time
splurge, a chance to cash out your customer loyalty miles, or your regular
method of travel, YVR says this your chance to pamper yourself as you wait for
a plane.
