Plaza Premium Lounge

Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International

3.6★★★★★★★★★★

Overall, from 14 metrics

🚪 Gate 5🍸 Full bar🚿 No showers🪑 Seats 100

One of two lounges in Main Terminal, and the lowest-rated of them. A marble compact lounge with food worth planning a meal around, coffee made by a person rather than a button, and upkeep that shows — though anyone with a day pass can get in. It seats around 100, runs a full bar, and has no showers. Hours are 4 AM – 9 PM daily. It opened in 2015. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. DragonPass, LoungeKey, and Plaza Premium and 1 more program get you in.
