YYZ Lounge options / time to kill
 

Hi all,

apologies if this has already been posted but I could not find any recent thread dealing with the below.

I will be arriving in YYZ (Terminal 1) tomorrow from Germany and will have 5 / 6h stopover before boarding a flight on AC Rouge to Havanna. I will only have lounge access to Priority Pass lounges.

Now, I see that there are a few Plaza Premium options in both T1 and T3. But the T1 in the international sector does not appear to have a shower (whilst the Plaza Premium in Domestic Sector T1 or International Sector T3) do have a shower.

My question therefore is, can I move "freely" to those lounges regardless of the sector they are in or am I restricted in doing so? 5/6h look rather short to get to the city for a short visit, so I am probably stuck in the airport that time.

Thanks heaps
J

If you follow the normal recommended path after landing, the answer is no. You will go directly to the T1 International area, with no access to T1 domestic (or T3 International).

The only option I can think of is to go through normal Canadian immigration (i.e. not to go through the connecting International flight immigration queue), and then buy a refundable domestic ticket on Air Canada to get into into the domestic terminal at T1. (And then cancel it once you are in the lounge).

Thanks! Sounds like too much of a hassle though, just to get a shower...

Hopefully there are some shops / things to do to kill 5h in that T1 area!

The Plaza Premium website shows the T1 International lounge does have shower access:

If that doesn't work, there is a workout gym called Goodlife in the pre-security area of T1 that offers $15 day passes including access to showers and change rooms. If coming out of international arrivals in T1, turn right and you will see it at the end of the terminal building.

Excellent, thanks!

Re the shower, conflicting info as priority pass’ website says no shower for this specific lounge. But your link (official plaza premium site does, so I assume this is the right one) :)

Will report back anyway tomorrow.

Cheers
