The TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card added one of the most popular card benefits: free access to VIP airport lounges! It was already a must-have thanks to its incredibly high welcome bonus: $1000 with no annual fee for the 1st year (the highest offer in Canada currently for simple points). Now, it’s even more of a must-have!
This lounge benefit makes the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card‘s increased offer a really amazing deal. Airport lounges are such an easy way to make your airport experience more enjoyable and more affordable.
I’ve visited hundreds of lounges, and I wouldn’t go without them ever again. Flytrippers helps you travel for less with our free newsletter specifically about travel rewards, our ranking of the best current deals, our monthly live videos, and our infographic with all the basics.

I provide a lot more information about the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card airport lounge access benefit in this guide.

How does the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card airport lounge access benefit work?
Here are the details on how this benefit works concretely.
How many passes are included with the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card airport lounge access benefit?
The TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card gives you 4 free visits per year of card membership (not per calendar year). It renews on the day of your card renewal if you choose to renew your card.
If you don’t use all your 4 free visits, you start over at 4 free visits at your renewal (you can’t roll over unused visits to the next year).
You can easily see how many passes you have left in the app or on the website (see the logistics section below).
How do the guesting privileges work with the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card airport lounge access benefit?
The 4 free passes can be used by the cardholder of the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card or their accompanying guests (it can be anyone; it doesn’t have to be a family member).
To be very clear, the cardholder must always be present (as with all airport lounge access benefits).
As with plane tickets, children under 2 years of age are almost always admitted into lounges free of charge without counting as a guest, and other children often don’t get special treatment and will count as a guest (which makes sense, since they take up a seat just like adults, whether it’s on a plane or in a lounge).
Policies for children depend on the individual lounge. They are usually listed on the lounge page.
Are additional passes available with the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card airport lounge access benefit?
If you need additional lounge passes for you or your guests, the best thing to do is simply to get other cards that have lounge access benefits in your name or in your travel companion’s name. That way, you can earn other huge welcome bonuses and improve your credit score on top of the lounge passes.
But if you don’t want to get more rewards and to save money, you can use the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card benefit to pay for additional passes at a “discounted” price.
Once you’ve used your 4 free passes, additional visits are billed at 32 USD. It’s a little cheaper than if you bought them directly if you didn’t have this benefit, but it’s still not particularly savvy, since you could instead pay that same amount towards a card’s fee and get a huge welcome bonus rather than paying for no reason!
What are the conditions of access with the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card airport lounge access benefit?
You have access to the lounges as a cardholder of the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card, and that’s it.
There are no restrictions related to:
- Your method of payment
- Your seat class
- Your airline
You can access lounges even if your flight was not paid with your TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card or your TD Rewards points. It has nothing to do with the method of payment. It’s a card benefit, quite simply.
You can access lounges even if your flight isn’t in business class or first class. It has nothing to do with the seat class. When you fly in business class (ideally with points, to pay less than in economy class), you already automatically have access to lounges anyway (often different lounges).
You can access lounges even if your flight is operated by any airline. It has nothing to do with the airline. You can access the very nice Air France Lounge in Montreal even if you have an Air Canada flight, for example.
(There are exceptions, as always. But that represents an infinitely small minority of the 1200+ lounges, where access is reserved for passengers on a specific airline. And it’s better to have access to certain additional lounges in a more restrictive way… than to not have access at all!)
However, all the lounges are independent and may have their own general conditions regarding certain details. They are usually listed on the lounge page.
Here are a few conditions that often apply to lounges accessible through airport lounge access benefits like this one:
- Limited to passengers with a confirmed seat departing from that airport
- Limited to a certain number of hours before your flight
- Limited to a visit lasting a certain number of hours
You can’t access lounges on arrival (without a same-day boarding pass departing from that airport), at least in theory (in practice, it often works by showing your arrival boarding pass). And it requires a confirmed seat (standby tickets don’t work), but that’s not an issue for the near-totality of travelers.
You can’t access lounges 7 hours before your flight, at least in theory (in practice, they sometimes don’t apply the limit if the lounge isn’t full). Often, it’s limited to 3 hours before your scheduled departure (2 hours in some lounges; it varies). Often, this limit doesn’t apply when you’re on a connection.
You can’t access lounges for 7 whole hours, at least in theory (in practice, they often don’t apply the time limit). Often, a visit is limited to 3 hours (independently of the deadline you’re allowed to enter). It’s very, very rarely enforced. In those cases, you can use more passes to stay longer (but you probably won’t need to).
Which lounges are included with the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card airport lounge access benefit?
The TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card gives you access to the Dragonpass network, the 3rd largest in the world. Officially, the name of the network is Visa Airport Companion by Dragonpass.
It gives you access to 1200+ lounges worldwide, including 24 lounges in 8 Canadian airports (with 2 more reopening after renovations in 2026).
You can read how to find the lounges included in the logistics section.
By the way, Dragonpass is a network that sells memberships that are accessible to all travelers.
It would be worth 99 USD if you wanted to buy it if you didn’t have the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card‘s lounge access benefit. And at that price, it only includes 1 visit, and you’d have to pay an extra 111 USD for the other 3 visits, for a total of 210 USD to get exactly the same access.
The Dragonpass network includes both independent lounges and lounges from certain airlines.
Don’t miss our detailed guide to the Dragonpass network soon.
In the meantime, I do want to give you a teaser of our ultimate guides about airport lounges and the Visa Airport Companion lounge network, which will be sent to the savvy travelers who get Flytrippers’ free newsletter specifically for travel rewards.
Here’s an infographic of all 53 VIP airport lounges here in Canada and which ways to access them for free.

What are the logistics of the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card airport lounge access benefit?
You have 3 simple logistical steps:
- Activate your lounge access
- Find the lounges included
- Enter the lounges at the airport
Step 1: Activate your lounge access
You must link your TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card to a new Visa Airport Companion account.
You can use the Visa Airport Companion website or app. It only takes a few minutes, and it’s very easy to do, as almost everything is in 2026: you simply need to fill out the form.
Step 2: Find the lounges included
To find out which lounges are included in the Visa Airport Companion network, unsurprisingly, you need to visit the Visa Airport Companion website or app.
On the site, you enter an airport name in the field at the very top of the home page, and the lounges will appear.
On the app, you also have an airport search box right at the top of the home page.
Alternatively, you can click on the “Explore” tab at the bottom.
Step 3: Enter the lounges at the airport
To access lounges that are part of the Visa Airport Companion network, you need to show your Visa Airport Companion card.
You have 3 options:
- The digital card on the app
- A screenshot of the digital card
- A printed version of the digital card
Nothing complicated there at all! But so many travelers don’t take the time to be informed about their benefits and show up thinking they can simply show their TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card and get in… that’s just not how this works.
The simple preliminary step takes only a few minutes and ensures your airport lounge experience is smooth and efficient.

hi Andrew,
can you clarify the eligibility of the lounge access for the primary cardholder who is traveling standby? if I read this correctly, despite the card offering 4 free lounge passes, the traveler could be denied if the boarding card shows a standby status?
Hi, indeed, all airport lounges require a valid (non-standby) boarding pass. No matter the access method.
ok so if I apply to be the primary card holder as well , since me and my husband have a joint account with TD and don’t pay for the card because we maintain more than $5000.00 all the time do I get it for free as well, please clarify
Hi,
The first year is free for everyone anyway with this current record-high offer on the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card.
If you don’t want to pay for the fee the 2nd year (it might be worth it depending on how much the 4 lounge passes and $100 travel credit are worth to you personally), you are allowed to downgrade the card to its no-fee version and keep the points 🙂
Hi Andrew my husband is the primary card holder of TD first class visa and I am secondary so if I travel alone and I don’t get the lounge excess isn’t that absurd and unfair because i use the card most. I don’t understand when you are telling the above individual to get a card for his wife which means you need to apply to be the primary card holder like your husband which to me doesn’t make sense.
Hi, it’s simple: just get a TD First Class Travel Infinite Card yourself and you’ll get $1025 too! 🙂
That’s the very basics of travel rewards really.
That’s why we tell couples to get one each. To get $1025 each. Isn’t $2050 better than $1025?
And lounge access being for the cardholder does make sense and isn’t really absurd or unfair. Many cards offer benefits to the cardholder only. That’s just how it is.
Again, there’s a really simple solution and it happens to be what you should be doing to get more rewards anyway, independently of the lounge benefit: get one yourself 😉
great post thank you!
do you know if TD travel infinite secondary card holders will get the same lounge access as primary holders?
i have a secondary card for my wife and sometimes she travels without me
Hi, it doesn’t seem like supplementary cards will have their own passes, which makes sense. That said, the official terms and conditions as of now are quite short, so I’ll reconfirm officially soon.
It would be a great time for your wife to get the card too, as the welcome bonus is at its highest! And she’ll get her own 4 passes 🙂
