Toronto airport lounges by terminal

Pearson has Plaza Premium lounges in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. The lounge sold here is after security, so you need to be checked in, with a boarding pass.

Pearson's own pages list these, though the hours differ from page to page:

  • Terminal 1: near Gate D20 (domestic flights) and near Gate F55 (US flights).
  • Terminal 3: near Gate B24, near Gate C32, and near Gate A10 on the US side.
  • Infield Concourse: one more Plaza Premium lounge.

Which lounge you will really get

The pass here is for a Plaza Premium lounge that is being renovated. The listing says you can use the Plaza Premium Concept Lounge instead. Showers are in select lounges only: Terminal 1 domestic, international and US departures, and Terminal 3 international.

Toronto airport lounge prices

Pearson's lounge pages list pay-per-use rates of about CA$65 for 2 hours, CA$79 for 3 and CA$105 for 6, before tax. The pass here starts from €49 for 3 or 6 hours.

Is it worth it? In our view, yes for a wait of 3 hours or more, or for a shower before a long flight. For a short wait, the gate is fine.

Staying longer than you booked costs extra, paid on the day if there is space.

Before you fly: getting to Pearson

The fastest way from downtown is the UP Express, 28 minutes from Union Station. Take the UP train Toronto runs from Union Station: it leaves every 15 minutes, and the last train to the airport leaves Union at 1:00 a.m.

The UP Express stops at Terminal 1 only. For Terminal 3, change to the Terminal Link train next to the UP station.

For a dawn flight, a Pearson airport hotel saves the early ride; see where to stay in Toronto.

Landing rather than leaving? Our guide to getting around Toronto covers the UP Express, the 900 bus and taxis.
