Review: Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge London

During a lengthy layover in London following my Air Mauritius flight, my wife Ashley and I opted for some lounge-hopping, commencing with a visit to the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge at London Heathrow Airport (LHR).

Having opened its doors in 2014, this lounge served as the perfect starting point for our escapade.

To reach the departure level where the lounge was located, we ascended two escalators, flanked by the United Club on one side and the Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Lounge on the other. Once at the departure level, Air Canada’s lounge space was on the left.

Star Alliance Gold members, including those with Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Gold and PPS Club, also enjoy access privileges.
