Airport Lounges

Lounge access options at Vancouver International Airport — Priority Pass, airline lounges and day passes.

Lounges at YVR

Vancouver's Priority Pass network centers on the International Terminal, where a 24-hour SkyTeam Lounge and two Plaza Premium locations (one for international departures, one for USA-bound flights) sit alongside two more Plaza Premium lounges on the Domestic side.

SkyTeam Lounge (International Departures) — open 24 hours, generally rated the best Priority Pass option at YVR

Plaza Premium Lounge (USA Departures) — useful if you're pre-clearing US customs and want lounge access on that side of security

Plaza Premium Lounge (Domestic Departures, two locations) — separate lounges depending on which pier you depart from

Priority Pass accepted at YVR

Insider tip

If your flight departs from the USA pre-clearance area, note the general International Departures lounges sit on the other side of security — check which Plaza Premium location matches your specific gate area before you clear security.

Lounge availability, access policies and amenities at YVR change regularly. Verify with the lounge operator or your card/membership provider before travel.

Lounge Tips for Vancouver

Arrive at the lounge at least 90 minutes before departure — most lounges get crowded in the final hour before peak departures.

Lounge WiFi is usually much faster and more reliable than the general terminal network — ideal for last-minute work.

Check your travel credit card benefits before buying a Priority Pass — many premium cards include complimentary lounge access.

Alliance status matters: Star Alliance Gold, oneworld Emerald/Sapphire and SkyTeam Elite Plus members can typically access partner lounges even when flying Economy.

Some lounges at YVR may be airside only — confirm whether your lounge is accessible before or after security.
