New airport lounge alert!
YUL just got a sophisticated space that transforms waiting into an experience worth savouring—you just need to know where to find it.
The Aspire AMEX Lounge, soft launched this summer, is the only shared-access lounge in YUL’s Domestic terminal—meaning it’s open to all travelers with an eligible boarding pass.
The elevated space blends comfort and style, offering a sit-down restaurant with an open kitchen and a centrally positioned bar.
Savour dishes crafted by celebrated local chefs and sip signature cocktails created in collaboration with Montreal’s top mixologists.
The lounge’s central location facilitates access for domestic travellers while offering proximity to the terminal’s main boarding areas.
Whether you’re looking to dine, relax, or work, the lounge’s 100 thoughtfully arranged seats span a variety of zones—from elegant dining and cozy living room spaces to private booths, quiet workstations, and panoramic views of the runway.
Short on time? The grab-and-go service lets you order delicious meals to enjoy on the spot or take with you on the go—perfect for travellers who want convenience without compromising quality.
Alcohol is available starting at 11 a.m. daily., and access is permitted 3 hours prior to scheduled flight departure for Priority Pass cardholders—smart casual dress at all times.
Children under 2 years are admitted free with an adult.
