Skyteam lounge at YYC?
If flying AMS-YYC (KL) - SLC (Skywest) all in business, does one have access to any lounge in YYC? I do not have any status with any airline and do not have Amex Plat and the such.
Anything to do in YYC on a 4 hr 45 mins layover?

The answer you seek may be found here. And the answer would be no lounge access in Calgary for Sky Team Premium Cabin Passengers. Servisair has a couple of lounges there (Rocky Mountain and Calgary Chinook) which can be accessed for 3 hours for about $31 (24 Euros).

I had the (mis)fortune of flying YYC-SLC on Skywest last year.
The Skyteam lounge guide is a bit deceiving. While there is AF and KL service at this airport, US-bound flights are held in a sterile area past a passport check, and there is no Skyteam lounge in this area.
I did check out the aforementioned pay-for-entry lounges, and found them to be thoroughly unimpressive and not worth the money.

The Rocky Mountain Lounge is in terminal C where your SLC flight will depart. The lounge has been very quiet the couple of times I've been there and I recall self-serve drinks, soup, sandwiches and smaller snacks along with free wifi (though wifi is free in the terminal as well)...

I am seeing the Rocky Mountain lounge listed in the Priority Pass directory. Does that mean I could get in with the Chase Ink Bold and their first 2 Priority Pass free lounge visits?
Thanks everyone!
Thanks everyone!

I liked the Chinook lounge in YYC when I went there. It's much less crowded than the other lounge that is there (AC MLL). The best part is that I get in for free because of my AMEX.

I walk by the Rocky Mtn lounge every week but am not a member of PP nor do I carry the Amex Plat. There seems to be a number of different cards and affiliations, but of course SC is not one of them.
The lounge webpage is https://www.executivelounges.com/en/...RockyMountain/ however it does not discuss anything further than booking through the site for entry.
