At least the beer was free, which helped make it feel a little more worth it. Service was fine, but overall this is more of a convenience stop if you have lounge access rather than a lounge I'd actually look forward to coming back to.

Walking into the Plaza Premium Lounge, I had pretty realistic expectations -- especially coming…read morefrom frequent visits to lounges like the American Express Centurion Lounge and Delta Sky Club. Unfortunately, this one didn't quite measure up. The overall experience felt a bit underwhelming. The space itself could definitely use some TLC -- the furniture looked worn and dated, and it gave off more of a tired, well-used vibe rather than a relaxing pre-flight retreat. One of the bigger misses for me was the lack of accessible power outlets, which is something you really come to rely on when traveling. That said, it wasn't a terrible stop -- just not quite what I've come to expect from premium lounge experiences (as its name would imply). With a refresh and a few updates, it could easily be brought back up to par. For now, it's serviceable, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to revisit.

Lots of seating areas which were spread out, so it never seemed to be overwhelming. My one complaint is that their filtered water stations were weak. The water just kind of dribbles out.

After navigating the maze to customs (typical), while absorbing a bit of the cultureI arrived to a surprisingly calm, low stress process to baggage. I walked right up to a customs kiosk, chose my preferred language, answered the typical questions, snapped a pic and received a slip of paper. That paper went to an officer and I was on my way. No fuzz, no language barriers, no targeted "intimidation intending"!interrogation, no stare downs...can you tell I've recently been to Germany? Just peace, and honesty, it looked to be that way for most everyone who passed through. Our return trip to Houston I was reminded that as a country, we've pissed Canada off. My husband was randomly selected for additional screening...okay, but then my bag was super searched. The same one with the same items I've carried to 6+ other countries in the last couple of years

Wow, the views are awesome overlooking the airport and watching planes come and go. Our server was really friendly, we explored the menu and made our decision on lunch. I chose the spring rolls and Mr. B went with Fish and Chips. There were four spring rolls on the plate with a nice plum dipping sauce. They were fried to perfection and were nice and brown, crispy and crunchy and the veggies on the inside were hot and tender. They were seasoned on the inside and had the perfect level of salt to bring out the veggie flavors. Mr. B's Fish was huge, it also was perfectly fried, crispy and crunchy and the fish was flaky and tender on the inside. The fries were hot and crispy too. There was a small bowl of crunchy coleslaw on the side. We were thrilled with our lunch. If you ever find yourself staying at the Fairmont at YVR, you need to give this spot a try.

It is less crazy getting through the security line.I was flying international and because my flight was during the daytime, it was super long. So long that someone had to direct us to another security gate. All international flights fly out of Gate D. I was heading to Paris at that time. So definitely flying out of gate D. Gate D has better lounges. This is always the case at any airport. Even the AC lounge here has a chef cooking food on the spot. There is much more to see at the international departure side. The duty free section is way bigger and there are two duty free shops at Gate D.
