YYZ Lounge Access for a Premium Rouge flight?
Hello,
I have a Premium Rouge flight to Lima. I know it's not quite a Business Class but it's the highest class available on Rouge.
Does this give access to the AC Lounge? Which one you recommend in YYZ? I'll be landing and departing from T1 but if there is a better lounge I do have about 2:20 min layover. Thanks!

Make sure you don’t need to pre-book the lounge. We flew PE on AC back in August. I was told by an agent we could just walk up to the front desk at the YYZ lounge. When we got there, they said we had to pre-book. They wouldn’t make an exception.

Thanks for the tip. Does anyone know how to Pre-Book a lounge? Never heard of such a concept

@OP, looks like I was incorrect in my previous post. Check this out: https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/...f-lounges.html
Apparently premium rouge flights to South America must purchase lounge access. Weird. Sorry for the mistake on my part.
If it makes you feel better, you're not missing much: a mediocre lounge at best, with crap food.

No lounge in Lima when I was there
I've never heard of this.

As a seasonal regular on ACr, YYZ/EDI, pre-booking is offered at the time of booking on-line (or at least it was using the system prior to 18 Nov!) or call Air Canada reservations in advance to do this.
BTW having booked lounge access on-line at the time of booking a YYZ/EDI flight last June along with other sectors, some of the other sectors had been subject to service changes related to the non availability of the MAX. The MLL 'booking' did not auto transfer over to the changes made. In the end quickly sorted in the MLL by a friendly agent!

Premium rouge as far as I know comes in 2 classes - Premium Economy for Intl and Business Class for NA and Caribbean destinations.

This sounds like just a cost-cutting strategy to deny access to cash LMUs at the airport.

Having to purchase MLL access in advance from the AC site/app is not a new thing but it does seem odd.
Given the fact that they’ll happily take cash from peole with status who run out of family and first spots for various girlfriends.
And in at least one case they have taken cash for someone flying PY. Which in many routes is the same as PR.
Meanwhile I just enjoyed roast beef and yorkshire pudding at YYZ after a shower. In Terminal 3
But what do I know, I don’t work at the airport.

I know it's been stated, but I want to clarify this since the first reply was 100% wrong.
You do not have complimentary access to any Air Canada or *G lounges with an international premium economy ticket.
