Gut the north Terminal lounge in Calgary, are you crazy?! While it doesn't hold up against most in the system, it is an awful lot better than the Empress Lounge in the main south Terminal. There is nothing like those Panasonic massage chairs...

Calgary is the weak link in Canadian's lounge system, rather odd considering it is their home base/corporate HQ. AC's new Maple Leaf lounge in the main south Terminal puts Canadian's in both terminals to shame. Some day Toronto's domestic lounge will get that door they keep promising, but it will never be as awsome as the one on Vancouver's domestic Empress Club.

And don't forget the draft beer machines that are now a fixture of both airlines up here, serving local micros... along with their bottled versions for those times when the lines get too much CO2 in them!

Having just sampled a few Continental and Northwest Lounges across their system, few meet the standards our two airlines have set for themselves: not to mention the free booze...
