There are many airport lounges in Canada. Canadian travelers can easily get access to most of them for free — or actually, get paid to get access to most of them. Some are easier to access than others, so let’s look at the full list and details.
You’ll soon be able to check out our ultimate guide to airport lounges for all the info soon.
But in this first version of the post, I’ll focus on the easiest way to access these airport lounges: with credit cards that have free access and great welcome bonuses that make these cards even better than free (especially with the record offers ending September 20).
Here’s our ultimate guide to all airport lounges in Canada, by airport.
There are a lot more details about each lounge by airport below, and it’s organized so that you can easily know which airport lounges you can access specifically with the card you are currently holding as part of your travel rewards strategy.
First, here is a list of the specific Montréal airport lounges you have free access to and the access details, based on the card you have or the card you will get next as part of your application cycle.
Then, see the lounge section right below for photos and details about each Montréal airport lounge, including access rules for children.
