One of eight lounges in Terminal 1, and the lowest-rated of them. A compact lounge — seats are scarce at peak and it gets loud. It seats around 50 and pours beer and wine. Hours are 5 AM – 8:30 PM daily. Only worth it if the alternative is the gate. Recorded access options include Maple Leaf Lounge and Star Alliance Gold Lounge Access. Entry conditions and availability apply.
