    Disgusting lounge, inedible food.

    The most disgusting lounge we have ever visited, inedible food,filthy environment, overcrowded and uncomfortable seating. British Airways should be ashamed of themselves for sending customers here! We complained to them but they just issued a generic response, they obviously couldn’t care less about their customers ?.

    Expensive, untidy and very crowded

    I have been in some airline lounges as a traveller and this is most definitely the worst. For the discounted price of about $68 (Canadian) I felt that we had been seriously over charged. The food offered was a tasteless chicken (Kung Pao - I believe) and rice and he other options I don't recall due to it being several weeks ago. Even the desserts were lack lustre and tasteless - completely flavourless tiramisu. At least one of the coffee brewing machines was defective and for the number of paying guests in the lounge, this gave rise to a wait time of several minutes at the working machines. Finding a seating space for a group of four, mis afternoon on a Sunday in September was a nightmare. Thankfully a mother group took pity on us and gave us their seats as they left. I found the floors to be grubby, the lounge seating to be unclean and the entire area very crowded. The waiting lobby was also heavily congested with other guests waiting for a space to be admitted. My group was fortunate, we received a reduction in the rate because of the airline we were flying but I certainly would not have like to pay the full price. Before we did go down to the gate room, I did use the bathroom and found this to have a bad odour - like a Nast public convenience. The next time I fly out of Vancouver I would rather sit at the gate room or go have a decent meal at an airport restaurant where the food is better and less expensive.

    Disappointed

    This lounge is going down in quality slowly but definitely and here I’m speaking about the variety and quality of warm food. I stood in line for a while then I couldn’t pick anything in my plate because the choices were unappealing. I asked for a menus and they only had bbq pork which I do not eat and a tasteless rice with curry which I tasted and threw away. I ended up drinking some hot chocolate and nibbling on some cookies. I urge those in charge to revisit their menus asap. Seating was not bad. I secured a table overlooking the runway which was nice. The place is always busy.

    Premier Lounge at Vancouver Airport

    This was money well spent and the lounge although far from the gates was very comfortable and convenient.

    Vancouver International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vancouver.

    How much does Vancouver International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge cost?

    +

    Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vancouver usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Vancouver International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vancouver is not rushed.

    Is Vancouver International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (2.3/5 across 171 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vancouver, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Vancouver International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Vancouver International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Vancouver International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge?

    +

    Around 60 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vancouver can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vancouver and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Vancouver International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vancouver within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Vancouver?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Vancouver experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Grand Bicycle Tour of Vancouver, The Stanley Park Bicycle Tour, Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Capilano Suspension Bridge & Vancouver Lookout. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Vancouver?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Vancouver?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Vancouver International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge?

    +

    Included: Wi-Fi connections & Flight information; Use of shower facilities (international and domestic terminals); Selected alcoholic drinks and coffee; 2, 3 or 6 hours to utilize the facilities of the lounge (depending on option selected); and International TV channels, newspapers, magazines.
