will be traveling on cx in 1st, i have a long lay over, would love to take a shower, any options, even if i have to pay to get in to a lounge that has one.

It's call The Sheraton Hotel. Attatched at the center of T3.

Not sure if you are arriving or departing from YYZ.

There is no arrival lounge and for departure lounge, CX uses KLM's lounge. I don't recall there is showering facility. KLM Lounge YYZ

So Sheraton might be your only choice.

I hope you're on company dime because that's going to be one heck of an expensive shower at Sheraton.

i am glad others were so helpful to you....

there is a paid plaza premium lounge that you can use and has shower facilities...http://www.plaza-asia.com/index.php/locations/toronto


it will actually be adjacent to the crappy KLM lounge that Cathay uses, however, depending on how early you are, you actually might be able to get into the BA lounge although they are the worst when it comes to applying the COT OW rules....so in theory you should be able to get into the small F lounge BA has...again, in the same area the plaza lounge is in....but they might say "computer says no"...to you....

i recall the BA lounge closes around 20:00 or so...

i assume from your question you are likely taking the 01:35 YYZ-HKG flight?

the plaza lounge will be open to 22:00 although it would appear it may be open to 01:30 now....this is new to me....i suspect this is because of CX's extra flights...

please post if you are allowed into the BA lounge....

The Plaza Premium Lounge does remain open for the 1:30am departure from YYZ - I passed the door just a few weeks ago and there were a few CX passengers in there.

Last year I don't recall this lounge being open after 10:00pm

as recently as May 2010 this was not the case as i would have gladly stayed there than in the KLM lounge...thanks for the confirmation the closing times have changed and the web site is correct.

My flight from YYZ to HKG next week is the morning one... which lounge does CX use then?

Last time I got the morning flight from YYZ it was the KLM lounge -- however this was > 6 months ago.

KLM....and it sucks....

i would print up this coupon below and go into the plaza lounge...i was at the PP lounge in the US transborder area at YYZ on Sunday and loved it...so if this was what the PP lounge in the international section is like, it is worth the added cost...

http://www.flightcentre.ca/pdf/Airport_lounge.pdf the one you would go to was marked as 7...

hot buffet of food, good snacks, free internet, although YYZ offers free Wi fi now, and decent beer....wine is just OK and limited spirits but even the BA lounge has crappy wine at YYZ....

when in the US lounge there were only three people in the same....loved it.
