    Priority Pass/American Express/Plaza Premium Lounge
    Charlotte W.

    General Information. Priority Pass is a membership that allows you to access airport lounges all over the world regardless of the airline you fly and the ticket class purchased. What this means is that for the frequent traveller who appreciates having a lounge to work/sleep/relax, this is a great membership to have. There are 3 levels and I currently have the Prestige Membership at $399 USD per year. This level gains entry to all lounges with no fee and one additional guest can join at $27 USD per visit. Terminal 3 International Flight Departures - Toronto Pearson The Priority Pass lounge at Terminal 3 also shares the lounge with Plaza Premium and American Express (Platinum and Centurion cardholders only). There are several Plaza Premium/Priority Pass/Amex lounges in Terminal 3, but the one I went to was close to gate C32. This lounge is very large and comfortable, and the day my parents and I utilized, it was empty. We were duly impressed and found it better than the Maple Leaf lounge. There are comfortable cushy lounge chairs that line the wall overlooking the airplanes as well as ample desks to eat/work, 4 computer stations with free internet (one hooked up to a printer), luggage storage, and bathrooms (this lounge did not have shower facilities). There is a wide variety of food (hot and cold) and for our visit, they had a rendition of Beef Stroganoff, steamed potatoes and vegetables and fried rice. The lounge also had a salad and cereal bar, bread station and dessert varieties (cookies, muffins, fruits). The drink selection was equally large with white and red wines, aperitifs, beers and liqueurs (I started my vacation with a spicy Bloody Ceasar...woo hoo!) Standard water and juices are of course available. All in all, this is a great lounge and I will definitely be using my Priority Pass more often. I find that out of all the PP lounges accessed, the one in Pearson's Terminal 3 is the better of the lot (yeah Pearson for once)! For travelers who frequently purchase Business/First class tickets, than this membership would be moot as lounges are a part of the ticket. Overall, a great membership to have. FYI. This lounge also accepts non-membership guests (single entry) at a price. 2 hours duration is $30 CDN and 3 hours is $35 CDN - this is not a bad price considering all the amenities (including free Wi-fi and plenty of outlets to charge your laptop/iPad). No reservations are required for membership - just pop-in and check-in at the counter. Tip. Some airports require passengers to pass through security check first then you can access the lounge (like at Pearson). At other airports, you have to access the lounge first then check-in at the security station (which means you are at your gate like at the Athens International Airport). Just be warned because we made the mistake of passing through the security check in Athens thinking we could access the lounge after, however, it meant that we were outside our gate for 4 hours. The lounge was before the security check. Keep an eye open.

    Gate 32C in terminal 3 is brand spanking new. This is one of the nicest lounges I have ever been to. The food is decent, but the size and comfort level are fantastic. I don't care for the free stuff, as much as I like a quite place to relax before flying. Check out the pictures I posted, then visit the lounge. This place blows the other Canadian lounges out of the water.

    This place is awful. There is an odd smell. The food is terribly unappetizing. Carpet is absolutely filthy. Staff seem to hate their jobs.

    It is not worth the money if you are looking for food. The lounge it self is comfortable and quite.

    If you're looking for a calm oasis after the chaos of security, this lounge is your golden…read moreticket--spacious, organized, and serving food that'll make you forget you're in an airport. The moment we cleared security, it felt like we stumbled upon a traveller's haven. The lounge is right after security, which is a blessing when you just want to drop your bags and relax. The space is enormous, with ample seating, and it never felt cramped even with a steady flow of guests. Whether you're a solo traveller or wrangling a group, there's a spot for everyone. Now, let's talk food and drinks, because that's where this lounge truly soars. The menu was extensive (and yes, I regret not snapping photos for proof!), but every dish we tried was delicious. We kicked things off with a tomato basil soup that was so good it could make you forget about your flight delays. For mains, the lemon pepper fish, chicken in curry, rice, fresh greens, and assorted desserts hit the spot beautifully--comfort food done right. Drinks are a treat too: I enjoyed a Great Lakes beer, which is part of their complimentary selection, though if you want to indulge in the finer spirits, be prepared to pay a little extra. A small note for fellow travellers: wait times can stretch during rush hours. We had to scan a QR code to join the waitlist, but honestly, the reception staff run the place like a well-oiled machine. From managing the line to the smooth entry process, everything was systematic and stress-free--a rare sight in any airport. All in all, this lounge turned our layover into a mini vacation. Great food, an inviting atmosphere, and staff who know how to keep things moving make this spot worth every minute of the wait. As the saying goes, good things come to those who wait--and in this case, they come with curry, craft beer, and a comfy seat.

    I've never been to this T3 Plaza Premium lounge (near gate B23) before. Unfortunately I seemed to…read morehave written a previous review stating I was at the US departure lounge, which this isn't. However, I see other people's photos and the interiors don't match either! I am currently flying international so I thought this was an international lounge. After I left the lounge, I discovered another Plaza Premium lounge near gate C31). So I asked the staff there. They said they were the official International lounge and I was in the Domestic lounge! So it appears Domestic and International departures have no security barrier between them, just the US departures have a secuirty barrier due to their advanced customs clearance at the Toronto airport. People using the lounge passes from credit cards are limited to 2 hours of use. You can pre-book your entry time if you wish for US$9/person. When you enter the lounge, you have to show your complimentary passes or purchase them. There is also a self-serve entry kiosk. The lounge looked clean. There are a few attendants picking up finished dishes and cleaning tables. We arrived at 07:00 with their breakfast service. There is plenty of options. There are 5 hot dishes (sausage, scrambled egg, potato wedges, baked beans, and egg burrito), oatmeal, salad (balsamic vinaigrette is available), cold cuts, cheese, yogurt, cereal, bakery items (bagel, bread, muffin), pop machine, and hot drinks machine. I like their milk hot chocolate. The latte was missing milk! The oatmeal is very watery and bland. There are 4 toppings but it didn't include brown sugar. The bar (for alcoholic beverages) opened before 08:00. All food and drinks are self-serve except for the alcohol. There are condiments. However, the condiment bottles/containers are with the food section, so i had to go back twice to put some pepper on my food; they don't have little pepper/salt packages. There are tables and counter seating for eating food, lounge chairs, etc. There is free WiFi. The lounge is wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washroom and they are wheelchair accessible. Review 2026-112

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

It's a huge space with multiple areas including a children's area. There are also showers.

There's also coffee machines, canned pops, canned sparkling water, juices, spirits and wines. Food was below average. I would rather not come back. I stayed an hour and no one had removed my plates.

As a lounge primarily affiliated with an airline instead of a credit card, the lounge was fairly empty when I visited (dinner time Saturday night) and we were able to get in without any difficulties. It was generally quiet but felt not much different from waiting in the terminal. The staff clean the tables fairly infrequently so it was hard to tell which tables were in use and which hadn't been turned over yet. The food was decent- about the same quality as regular airport food and there were some vegan and vegetarian options of soup, build your own salad, and some hot plate foods. Of course there is a coffee machine and fridges full of canned Pepsi products, bubly sparkling water, and Schepps products. There is an open self serve bar as well with a pretty wide selection of liquors. The bathrooms were a little better than what's in the terminals, but still hit or miss on sanitation.

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.
