Long wait about an hour on the waitlist before it got to me…read more Nice thing is they offer a takeout box option! When it got to my turn, since I had no time to spend in the lounge (too close to departure), A staff member scooped and boxed up the food for me, placed it nicely in a paper bag, gave me a bottle of water for me and my guest and I was on my way. I don't know what food was packed but I'm just glad I got to leave with something after the long wait. So kind and convenient!

The international lounge was closed, so only the domestic lounge was operating--and it was crowded…read more I checked in with my pass and was placed on a waiting list. The wait was about 20 minutes, which was reasonable. However, once inside, it was difficult to find a seat due to how packed it was. The hot food selection was very disappointing, and I honestly can't believe people pay $$$ for this level of service. The offerings included frozen basa fillet in a coconut-based sauce, overcooked chow mein, mayo-heavy coleslaw, and frozen chicken dumplings--overall worse than a decent food court meal, or even an average airplane meal. I understand that a domestic lounge may cater to short-stay travelers, but since international passengers are also being accommodated here, there should be a wider variety and better quality of hot food options.

Lounging is better than waiting at the gate…read more Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge is a Star Alliance lounge where eligible passengers can wait for their flights up to 3 hours ahead of departure. The lounge has multiple seating areas as well as a small buffet station, several drink stations, a TV seating area and showers for those looking to refresh ahead of connecting flights. Food selection included just a few pasta choices, grilled chicken, salad and soup along with some cookies and cake. Nothing special. For drinks, there were a variety of alcohols, some juices and pop. It's a place where many passengers grabbed a small bite before their flights. The staff were slow at taking away used plates. For seating, many passengers gathered around the lounge area that was showing the ball game. However many seats were directed perpendicular to the TV screen, especially those few with charging stations or receptacles to recharge. This lounge feels somewhat dated and became fairly crowded later in the afternoon. Skip it or hit it? Relax here pre-flight if you already have access but don't go out of your way to pay for the cafeteria grade food otherwise.

I just wish these details were actually listed on the app for use restrictions. This is the second time I attempted to use it- last time I was using a partner airline that restricted my use- and the desk person said air Canada flight only. Quite frustration.

KLM Crown Lounge, a small lounge. Perfectly functional lounge for KLM passengers…read more First off, I think it's awesome KLM has a "Crown Lounge" in Toronto! The KLM lounge in Toronto's Terminal 3 (near gate C32) is a bit dated in look, but it does what it needs to do. Plenty of seating, comfortable chairs, strong Wi-Fi, and power outlets where you need them. The buffet is generous and well stocked, making it easy to grab a proper meal before a long flight.

I was also half dead with a cold and trying my best to hide it so they'd let me through the gates. First thing I noticed was that sleek, shiny, lounge-y atmosphere. Damn, this place looks like a hotel and was beautiful. Small, but with shiny wooden decor and large windows that looked out onto the runway. Off to one corner was a discreet area for a shower. This must be where the frequent flying elite brush up. I sat at one of the comfortable seats and just stared outside until I had to go. Blissful. One of the main benefits of the lounge is of course, free food and refreshments. I'm guessing they rotate through different international fare. That day, I was only up for something soupy because I was sick. Luckily for me, they had laksa noodles. Even more luckily for me, I found it very tasty. Sipping away at my laksa and unlimited earl grey tea certainly helped put me to sleep for 8 hours straight on the plane ride afterwards. Yes, there were more people than I thought there would be. Yes, there were a surprising amount of families and kids. But this isn't some 18+, extra exclusive lounge. If I have my family with me and earned/paid my way into the lounge, what am I gonna do? Leave my kids outside? I happened across a previous review that starts with: "It blows my mind when I see 4 and 5 star ratings for this lounge. Have you never been to another lounge before?" No, Jordan. I haven't. Because I'm a broke af young adult that just finished paying off college debts, goddammit. Chill. Let me enjoy your privilege for once. (17/100) - 2018

Guess it's about timing though, as I've heard from my friends that it's always super crowded. The breakfast eggs are often overcooked to death, turning into this grey-greenish solid. And the cleanliness of the tables, plates, and cups are sometimes questionable. Around 11ish they start serving lunch, and the selection is slightly better than breakfast. I've come across their butter chicken curry a few times, and it's quite alright. There is a very limited selection of food and drink, but it's still a good enough place to charge your electronics and get comfortable before a flight.

Check-in process was simple, just had show my membership in the app. Upon entering found that the lounge was really small. Probably held about 50-60 guests. Most of the tables were in the back side of the lounge. The small bar was right in front of the entrance. On the left side of they had few more couches and booths. The food station had few dishes and salads. Drink station had soda dispenser and coffee machines. The dessert station was near the entrance. It wasn't surprising at all that they were at max capacity. I was really pleased with the food they served. The rice was so good, it had such nice aroma. The chicken was also delicious. I got multiple servings of both of them. The tap beer was also good. Staff members were working hard to keep restocking the station while also cleaning up all the tables with left over dishes and glasses. Despite the limited crowded space and messy stations, I was glad to find this lounge for some quick meal and drinks since this terminal has such limited choices, and most of them are mediocre. I'd be at this lounge every time now when I am traveling thru this terminal in Pearson.

Originally, my dad, bro and I had wanted to go to the upper level 3 Air Canada lounge but it was at capacity unfortunately, the wait to get in was long and we didn't want to stand and wait. So we went to the lower levels and arrived at this "express" lounge. Walking inside we noticed immediately that it was super small (idk if you can even call this a lounge tbh). There was one long bar with a minibar and fridge and 2 giant coffee machines. That's it. The only food provided was parfait and blueberry muffins. The blueberry muffin was really good but 'disappointed' is an understatement for how I felt about the food offering in this lounge (NO HOT FOOD AT ALL???!!!) I think Air Canada needs to do away with this scam "express" lounge and build a proper one to mimic the one on the 3rd level.
