Do I have lounge access in Toronto with Ethiopian flight in J

I will be flying in J on ET 552 ADD-YYZ. I fly on from there on in Y on AC 7937 YYZ-MCI. I have a 6 1/2 hour layover in Toronto.

Does Ethiopian Have an arrangement with AC or another airline for a lounge to use as an arrivals lounge for their business class pax?

For departures only, Ethiopian J passengers can access the Maple Leaf Lounge when departing YYZ (but it is not for arrivals). Given that your departure to the USA is in economy class, I don't believe you would be given access to the Maple Leaf Lounge in the Transborder (USA) departures area, unless you have *G status or other entrance qualifying status.

I don't recall there being an arrivals lounge at YYZ (I'm usually connecting, so can't say I've ever noticed one).

There is however a Plaza Premium lounge that is usually available for walk-ins in the Transborder departures area.

Quite possibly a better response could be given on the Air Canada / Aeroplan board.


Edit: Should also note that in the case this is all on one ticket, you will actually go directly to US per-clearance in Toronto and directly into the transborder departures area, by-passing Canadian customs and the normal arrivals area. So really your options would be limited to what is in the transborder area of T1.

It looks like the only lounge available to me would be the T1 Plaza Premium Lounge available through Priority Pass. if I am reading the web site correctly, I can get a day pass for $32 each without actually joining Priority Pass.

After sitting on the same ET plane for over 16 hours I am going to need something to do during the layover, not just sit in the general area of an airport. Will need a shower for sure.
