Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge

The best part of this lounge is the Canadians. Normally I hate nice people, but there is a warm spot in my heart for those from the great white north. Perhaps because I am such an avid fan of Degrassi. The best is when they do nothing wrong, then they apologize in their Canadian accent so it’s all «I’m SORE-​ee» lol, canadians. Sometimes they speak French!
The spread is great: pesto pasta salad. Chips, slasa, pita chips, hummus, crudite, salad, mini caprese sandwiches. And that’s just the stuff I’ve eaten! Also tuna sandwiches, fresh fruit, bags of pretzels, various breads. No cheese and crackers though, and no poutine, wtf.
The chardonnay is good. Good enough that I’m on my first glass as I write this but I picture myself squeezing in a few more. Cause, like, why not?
The lights are dim, which makes me feel better about drinking at 2pm. Also large turnaround in guests which makes me feel better about going up for a third round of food.
There’s one tv, currently playing cnn, currently talking about the knife found at OJ Simpsons old estate, which is great because it’s giving that throwback to the 90s feel that’s all the rage these days.
Unfortunately, there was an issue with my priority pass so this may be my last time visiting this lounge, which is a true shame, because I frequent la guardia quite often.

This is at max a resting area! Not a lounge.
Hardly any food. And quality is bad! Bathrooms are nowhere close to neat and clean!
But this is as good as you can get in LGA (third world airports are better!)
Wifi is ok. They serve alcohol.

The staff were all very nice. There was some tech issue and I didn’t end up having to pay for my husband to come into the lounge with me. He enjoyed the service and the salad/​drinks. We both loved the chocolate cookies. It is a shame it is such a tiny lounge. Wish there was more than one stall in the bathroom.

I finally made it!!! Yahoo… I’ve heard legendary tales of this place. The magazines, the comfort, the food, the endless snacks, the cocktails, and everything in between. Having a Priority Pass has it’s perks. I enjoyed a bowl of lemon chicken orzo soup with a glass of white wine. This lounge was not as crowded as other lounges. The associates were so wonderful. Great experience!

I’ll start with this might be a little biased. But I dreaded my flight and having to travel to Toronto with a cold and feeling like crap. The friendly service at the air Canada lounge and hot tasty lemon chicken soup with orzo really made me feel a lot better, not to mention the organic pears, and Asian pear! (A Chinese cold remedy to calm coughs)
They also had a full bar, wild mushroom cream soup, a small salad bar with some hummus dip, fresh ground coffee machine, pastries (lemon bar) and plenty of peace and quiet.
Only downside is that this is located outside of security, but given the short lines at LGA it’s not too much an issue. Yes it’s small like the other reviews have mentioned, but easy comfy and just what I needed to get me on that flight. And when I got to the counter, the wonderful guy and gal at checkin even checked our seats and upgraded us without us asking… Sooooooooo nice!
I’m so thankful to have booked this flight on air Canada out of LGA, would probably be hating my life at Newark otherwise…

Airport Lounge Crawl #2
I think my rating maybe a little harsh and unfair especially to compare any Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge to The Centurion Lounge.
The staff that checked me in was not really cheerful and seemed preoccupied with her smartphone. But this lounge is not busy at all and even other staff was watching TVs in the main lounge area instead of greeting customers.
The interior is just too dim and depressing. Don’t expect much on food selection anyway. cookies and chips or some fruits? Run of the mills tea bags…
The view is just dreadful.
Since I have a choice of visiting other lounge in LGA, I doubt I would ever set foot at this Maple Leaf Lounge ever again.
Everything just looks and feel dated? And this suppose to be relatively new?

I’m giving it two stars not because it’s necessarily bad, but because the quality and variety of snacks has decreased markedly in the past year. The decrease is astonishing, especially since the lounge is reserved for their best customers. I

Lounge is new and clean, with a decent food selection compared to most lounges in North America. It has a nice bar from which all drinks are served – there’s only self-​service juice and water.
My main complaints are around the absolutely horrifically slow WiFi. If you’re hoping to get any work done that requires Internet, forget it if. Tthere are also only very few desks available – all occupied when I arrived.

This place upgraded their lounge as last time there wasn’t any real food. This time I came here hoping it would be better and was happily surprised. Two hot soups available along with some decent bakery items. It’s still a small lounge compared to other cities, and one the Centurion Lounge opens next week I likely will not be coming here again, but today it fit the bill 100%.

Nice lounge. Awful wifi. Tiny washroom.
Not sure what else to say but I need to make the minimum word count.

It is one of the nicer maple leaf lounges I have been in! They offer complimentary drinks, snacks and surprisingly delicious soup! It was quiet enough where I could do my work and comfortable enough where I could relax before my flight. Overall I was impressed and it was very clean!

I stumbled upon this lunge through Priority Pass. It offers tasty snacks and soup plus free drinks. Complementary newspapers are much appreciated. The lounge offers a panoramic though slightly obstructed view of the airport.
However, it is much much smaller than most lounges I’ve been to and it’s located before security.

One of the best lounges I’ve visited. 10 different kinds of chips, cookies, popcorn. Yogurts, salad, fruit bowl, veggie, hummus, cup of noodle, fresh fruit. The service people are so quick in restocking the goodies. Extremely friendly and attentive. The lounge is a little outdated but will be renovated soon. The only downside to this lounge is that it’s before security. I can’t stock up snacks and drinks with me boooo
