TORONTO — Two new lounges have debuted at Toronto Pearson International Airport just in time for holiday travel.
Plaza Premium Lounge, an independent airport lounge network, announced its expansion at YYZ this week with the launch of Landmark Lounge, the largest independently operated lounge in North America, and Concept Lounge at Terminal 1. The existing post-security Plaza Premium Lounge, meanwhile, is currently undergoing updates.
The new spaces expand Plaza Premium Lounge’s presence across Canada, which includes an additional lounge at YYZ servicing Terminal 3 domestic travellers as well as lounges in Vancouver (YVR), Edmonton (YEG) and Winnipeg (YWG).
Additionally, Plaza Premium Lounge is making airport lounge access more accessible and memorable through expanded partnerships with credit card providers, special offers for the Plaza Premium Lounge Pass, and in-lounge activations.
