YVR lounges
Is it true that there's no lounge for C pax at YVR? I've no status, just a run-of-the-mill C pax heading for FRA on LH metal.
Are they assuming that all C pax are status-holders?

If you are on LH493 with a C Ticket you can use the AC Maple Leaf Lounge.
However be aware, these days that lounge is pretty packed before that flight. Last time I just grabbed a drink in the lounge and took a seat at the gate.

While it can be crowded at times, the offerings are better than most LH business lounges:
in addition to free booze, soft drinks etc. the MLL usually offers a small salad buffet, two different kinds of soup and some sort of pasta/Asian noodles.
Recently spent 10h in that lounge and IŽm still alive.
Anyway YVR is one of the nicest NA airports IMO, IŽd recommend taking a stroll through the airport.

It's much better than the stuffy old cramped AC Maple Leaf lounge!

Yes, go see the aquarium tank, the running stream, and even the nice food court outlets around the terminal ! Take your time to see some of the First Nations art work throughout the terminal building... and then camp out at the Tim Horton's doughnut stand! It's much better than the stuffy old cramped AC Maple Leaf lounge!
