Lounge when leaving Montreal?

Hi all, does the section of YUL used for departures to the US on Delta have a lounge? I am skyteam eliteplus and also have priority pass.

Thanks.

Frustratingly no... there is only an air canada maple leaf lounge there and the delta gates are at the far end of US departures. it's a nice airport though with some OK food / coffee options though.

PP really ought to strike a deal with Air Canada there. Ridiculous that, with that many flights, Skyteam and Oneworld pax have zero lounge options...

It's not that SkyTeam has zero lounges - there's an AF/KL facility. It may not be available for your transborder flight.

Agreed. The Irish pub place on the corner is pretty good.

Is it actually possible to access it?

Your final poutine? Just how old are you?

Same question to koreanair720.

Its probably the same situation as YYZ. If you arrive on a flight that gets you into the right terminal, you can get to the lounge, but entrance is only granted if you arrived from a transoceanic flight. Transborder flights are not eligible.

And at YVR, at least during US preclearance.

YVR and YYZ have Priority Pass lounges (Plaza Premium) in the US pre-clearance area. So at least there's something for those who have a PP membership.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this, but I've been able to get access to the AF lounge while connecting in YUL. YQB-YUL-ATL. Transboarder= international.

I've never tried originating at YUL and getting to the lounge, but if you land there from anywhere else you should be good. All domestic and international departures are now connected airside, except flights to the US of course, so you can physically get to the lounge with any boarding pass.

You are lucky! I was turned away from the KLM/AF lounge at YYZ.
