Inside the New Air Canada Café Montreal

Air Canada has opened the doors to its latest lounge concept with the debut of the Air Canada Café at Montreal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL). 

The Prince of Travel team was live on location to get a first look at the lounge – which becomes the second Air Canada lounge offering in the domestic terminal and the fourth in the airport – prior to its slated opening on March 22, 2025.

Here’s a detailed look at what Air Canada passengers departing from Montreal can expect on their next visit.

The New Air Canada Café Montreal

Air Canada has opened the doors to its newest lounge, the Air Canada Café at Montreal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL), which becomes the airline’s 30th lounge worldwide. 

The opening comes as part of a large-scale project that will see an ongoing refurbishment of existing Air Canada lounges, as well as the launch of new ones, in the coming months and years.

The Air Canada Café in Montreal comes as the third such lounge in the Air Canada network, following the Air Canada Café in Toronto Pearson (YYZ), which opened in 2019, and the Aspire | Air Canada Café at Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport (YTZ), which opened in 2023. 

It’s expected that another Air Canada Café will debut in Vancouver International Airport (YVR) at some point later this year.

The Montreal lounge follows the concept of other Air Canada Café locations, offering guests grab-and-go food options, a selection of hot items, elevated coffee & drinks, and a more casual atmosphere than you might find in Maple Leaf Lounges.
