Lounge Review: Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge – Los Angeles International Airport Terminal 6
– RewardsCanada.ca
In May of 2017 Air Canada moved from Terminal 2 to Terminal 6 at LAX and with it came a new Maple Leaf lounge. The old one in Terminal 2 was quite large after it expanded a few years previous and due to its size was a Priority Pass accessible lounge. The new Maple Leaf lounge in Terminal 6 looks and feels a lot like the old one however it is much smaller. Due to the size restriction the lounge is no longer participating in Priority Pass. Access is only available to those flying Air Canada Business Class, Air Canada Altitude members (Super Elite 100K, Elite 75K and 50K), Star Alliance Gold members, Maple Leaf Club members and American Express AeroplanPlus Reserve or Platinum cardholders. TD/CIBC Visa Infinite, Infinite Privilege and Small Business Cardholders also have access to the lounge when flying on an Aeroplan award ticket. Priority Pass members while out of luck for the new Maple Leaf lounge do have access to the Alaska Airlines lounge in Terminal 6.
