This is a decent lounge for those traveling on Air Canada or a Star Alliance partner. In this case, I was traveling on United and had a quick and smooth admission into the lounge. There is plenty of seating in the lounge is not too busy on a Monday morning. The food selection is decent, however, the chicken dish was so dry that it was impossible to even cut the chicken. Staff inside the lounge or not friendly, so just be aware of that. No other complaints, and this is a great lounge to go to if you want something a little quieter and don't want to deal with the other busy lounges in the terminal. read more

Lots of room to sit, delicious coffee, tons of fruit options for breakfast, and even GF bread so I'm pretty happy with this lounge when compared with what I'm used to for United. My two annoyances were 1. there was no separate toaster for the GF bread so I ate it cold and 2. The first seat I sat in (couch by the tv) had a broken outlet so I had to move. They redeemed themselves when they brought out GF brownies though. Employees also come around pretty often to clean and are friendly. read more

Ladies bathrooms did not have soap or toilet seat covers. Food was pathetic. You can do better Air Canada!

Wow the reviews here are pretty savage. I had a chance to kill a few hours here before flying back to Toronto. There's a ton of space here and thankfully it wasn't rammed. There's a lot of spots to charge up your devices and plenty of spaced out seating, tables, etc The food options are OK, not terrible, not great. There are a few washrooms here as well The view here is pretty cool. There is a section that overlooks the airport. read more

" Surprisingly Stunning " La Guardia Airport's newly renovated, state of the art Terminal B is now fully up and running - and with it, comes a revamped and surprisingly stunning Air Canada Maple Leaf lounge. Perhaps Air Canada can take notes for its tired lounges in all seven major city hubs back home! Soaring high ceilings with open views of the terminal, compliment the west coast, urban chic decor; with its white granite and marble surfaces along the clear, grey and charcoal color tones for furniture and wall coverings. Every seat is wired for electronics and; many meeting areas were observed equipped with extra large tv screens and cozy leather seating, made for relaxing flight waiting times or on the fly meetings. With this revamp, we were pleasantly surprised by the upscale self-serve food and beverage offerings.; starting with a salad section on the cold table that included rainbow orange/purple/yellow and red carrots, fire grilled thyme artichokes and kosher grain salt edamame. The hot plate section had cast iron skillets of crispy turkey bacon Brussel sprouts, wilted warm kale, sizzling chili and honey lime chicken thighs, barbecue grilled tofu and grilled sweet peppers amongst other offerings. An upscale self-serve coffee, soda and boozy beverage bar was also on hand. The lounge staff were observed to be extremely cheery and overall service was very helpful and non-intrusive. The terminal was overcrowded outside while the Air Canada lounge was a nice retreat that was playing soft jazz music. The unobstructed views to the downstairs shops and gates will allow you to see all the hustle and bustle of New York City's airport while you are relaxed; sipping on a glass of wine. And eventually, you'll be ready to go downstairs, with everyone else - to your gate. BUT, and there is always a but somewhere but this time it's a good one, so... but only when alerted to on your by the Air Canada app. As you know, Boarding Notifications while shmoozing in the lounge become a luxe convenience that we sometimes take for granted on our normal routines! Oh Oh! there goes the boarding notification on our phones! it's time to go! A bientôt Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge at LGA, see you again very soon! read more

Looks like most of the reviews of this lounge are more than 3 years old and dont apply anymore as the lounge has moved into the newly renovated Terminal B. Its all the way towards gates 40-59, just before you descend the escalator you will see the United Lounge on your right and Air Canada on your left. The lounge is very big and airy because it doesnt have a ceiling ibut rather just opens up into the terminal. The walls are glass so you get views overlooking the gates and the planes outside. There are many seating areas with modern amenities like power plugs. The food selection is not great probably due to COVID. All stuff packed to go like turkey wraps, salads, hummus dip, etc. There is a beer tap but its roped off due to COVID so just need to ask the person to serve you. Very relaxing place to hangout if you have time to kill before your next flight. read more

I happened to go on a day when my flight was delayed so I spent a good chunk of time here. It was hot in the lounge, but it was very crowded when I visited. Upon walking in, the receptionists told me to check back after 30 minutes because they're at capacity. However, another receptionist looked around and asked for confirmation from her coworkers and let us in. Sure enough, it was super packed. We were lucky to get seats with a table. I'm giving it 2 stars because the service was good, otherwise would've given 1. The ambiance & food just sucked. And it was too hot inside. I went on an evening in July. There were salads; edamame; chips, salsa & hummus; cheese for salad at the cold food station, cookies, and 2 kinds of soup. No finger sandwiches. They had a coffee machine that also brews espresso and hot chocolate. They had 2 beers on tap- Canadian and Coors Light. It was a smaller lounge and for that, the bathroom were super small too. There was free WiFi. read more

Airport Lounge Crawl #2 I think my rating maybe a little harsh and unfair especially to compare any Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge to The Centurion Lounge. The staff that checked me in was not really cheerful and seemed preoccupied with her smartphone. But this lounge is not busy at all and even other staff was watching TVs in the main lounge area instead of greeting customers. The interior is just too dim and depressing. Don't expect much on food selection anyway.. cookies and chips or some fruits? Run of the mills tea bags.... The view is just dreadful. Since I have a choice of visiting other lounge in LGA, I doubt I would ever set foot at this Maple Leaf Lounge ever again. Everything just looks and feel dated? And this suppose to be relatively new? read more

I'm relatively new to Priority Pass and this was my first time departing out of LGA. Beware, do not make the same mistake I did and visit here unless you have unlimited visited. This lounge IS NOT WORTH the money. The lounge itself is small, tired and old. I came in as they were cleaning up breakfast so there was no food out. Once lunch came out, it was disappointing compared to other lounges I've visited in the past. Lunch was two soups, I tired the lemon orzo and it wasn't bad and they also had chips and salsa. What a disappointment. They do have a nice bar but when you only have an hour to spend in a lounge, how much can you drink? The biggest downside, this Lounge is located BEFORE security, so I just sat there and stressed about how long the lines would be even with having pre-TSA. Seriously, unless you have a free pass, eat at any other restaurant in the airport and the price will be the same. Like others have noted, they do have a magazine rack - big deal! About half of the magazines aren't in English and the others aren't ones you've heard of before. The women's restroom had just one stall and I imagine that can get tricky from time to time. read more

Great option to visit in terminal B. I had the (mis)fortune to stay for breakfast and lunch time due to a 5 hour flight delay on United. Breakfast setup has Premade omelets, bacon, potatoes with a premium yogurt options and Cereal, toast, bagel available along with a selection of fresh cut fruits. Lunch was a generous salad bar with veggie and meat sliders. There were also hot entrees including chicken and tofu with plenty of hot veggie sides - kale, roasted veggies, coconut rice. Self serve beverages - tea, coffee (lavazza machine), beer, wine, and premium liquor. Attentive staff to quickly refill food and remove used plates. Plenty of seating with chairs, tables, and sofas with recharging options. read more

Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge - Lovely view of the airport's HVAC system- Really? Is this the best we can do? - Airport Lounges Near Me

Visited the Maple Lounge during a recent business trip to NYC. One problem is that it's pre security so you need to account for that issue and despite being TSA-Pre, terminal B doesn't really have an expedited line (you get a pass that allows you to avoid taking off your shoes at LGA). The actual lounge is somewhat difficult to find but once you find it, it's fairly easy to walk in. The lounge itself is nice and modern, pretty clean and service is friendly. I sat on the side and picked up some light bites that they offer including a couple soup options (I had the chicken orzo), quinoa salad, chipotle hummus, salsa, and chips. There are also a few Lavazza coffee options from a self serve machine and a few cookies as well. They have an extensive magazine collection as well. The view was underwhelming but I'm not sure we can ask for much at an airport like LGA. The layout includes a few hoteling cubes for folks like me and a lounge area with TVs for those looking to relax before their flight. Honestly, Maple Lounge was a nice hiatus for my 2 hour wait (delays - LGA is notorious for them) but may need some additional food and beverage options to make it a truly memorable stay. read more

Ok this is slightly better than JFK's Wingtips lounge. Stop by if you have extra time and wanna grab some light food. First, why is this OUTSIDE the security check? If you have TSA PreCheck or plenty of time to kill, stop by. I went through the security check and then found out this lounge is outside of it. Since I had an hour to spare, I did come to the lounge and did another security check.... I came here for breakfast. It got the basic hard boiled eggs, yogurts, banana, oatmeals, toasts, and that's it. Nothing fancy. The food is slightly better than Wingtips lounge at JFK. This one staff lady was friendly and attentive. She kept refilling fruits, toasts, etc, as needed, and coming to everyone's table to clear the used dishes out of the way. Overall it is better than Wingtips at JFK with slightly better food, better service and more spacious layout. read more

A lounge that checks all the basic needs, but not much more. The lounge is landside, which is annoying, and located in a spartan service corridor that makes you feel like you're in the wrong place. There are comfortable seating options, and with an early flight I had my pick, but the lounge probably can't hold more than 30 people without getting cozy. Outlet options are OK but could cause a scrum on a crowded day. Food and beverage choices are fine for what they are but far from luxurious: breakfast options included a Lavazza espresso machine, hot and cold cereal, yogurt, toast, and mini muffins. The best I can say is that it beats paying for it in the terminal. Alcohol is not available before 11, but they do have a well stocked, manned bar with quality booze that might raise my opinion of this lounge at a later hour. They have a fair selection of magazines, but I wished they would have had morning papers. Landside lounges generally give me agita about boarding on time. I suppose this isn't a big deal for passengers with precheck or with tickets in premier cabins, but for the rest of us it requires keeping an eye on the clock. read more

2 because there are empty seats, which is a luxury in LaGuardia; WiFi is available too along with a few plugs to charge your gadgets. However, there's several reasons why the seats are empty: 1. The food selection for breakfast is white bread, coffee, jam, pre packaged yogurt, and hard boiled eggs. There is some booze too sitting out but not served until later in the day. 2. The bathrooms aren't well sealed. You can literally hear people pooping anywhere near them and the smell absolutely wafts out. This is not a joke. 3. It's located ore security and in an off corridor. Step it up guys: I wish there was something Canadian. Maybe maple syrup? Canadian whisky? Anything beyond toast, jam and cold eggs? And please use double doors or something for the restrooms. read more

Well...first of all it is hard to find, and you will have to go through security twice unless you are actually flying Air Canada. So as a Priority Pass member it is NOT wise. With all of this hassle I was hoping for more than just a bowl of soup, but if that was my hope than they succeeded in crushing my hopes and dreams of something to eat before a long haul foodless flight. I don't ask for much. Maybe a finger sandwich? Bags of chips? On the bright side they do have serve yourself booze, and although it is only 2pm I could at least drown my sorrows. Oh New Jersey, I expected so much more from you and you let me down. I am afraid I must unfriend you Newark airport. read more

I used to come here before I discovered Centurion, but my flight is delayed and so since Centurion closed at 6:30pm, I came in here to kill time. There are good things about this place that Centurion lacks: 1. Individual charging machine for those travelers who have forgotten to bring their own, 2. Tones more magazines to choose from and newspapers (many are Canadian), 3. They close at 8:30pm. Like Centurion, they have 1. self-service food, but the only hot food being soup and the cold stuff is always the same: nachos, edename, and two salads to chose from in addition to hummus, 2. Open bar, but no special cocktails, 3. A flat screen tv, but only one, and 4. A lot of outlets!! The view is of the water but it is not unobstructed. Both places are quiet though. Just glad that its open. Beats waiting at the gate. read more

From LGA central / main terminal, take elevator up to 3rd floor and make a right. Walk all the way down the hall. The hallway going towards the lounge seem a bit cold, sort of like walking through my old high school gym. The lounge is small but cozy. For dinner they offered salad and soup as well as complimentary drinks. They also had Tanqueray! read more

Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge - Decent lounge at Air Canada lounge located on LGA 3rd floor. - Airport Lounges Near Me

Air Canada's Maple Leaf Lounge used to be tucked away down a hall before the security checkin. With all the renovations at LaGuardia, I'm happy to see a much larger open space that over looks the gates 44-49 with a decent view of airplanes outside. This is what I am used to seeing in MLL - clean neutral and modern space with seats that have USB and electric plugs built in to furniture. Menu items don't seem to have changed much but there is much more room here. This is my first time here in the new space and would be interesting to find out what it's like in the evening. read more

I just had a riveting conversation at the 'welcome' desk of the Maple Leaf Lounge. As my husband pulls out his Priority Pass, the lady asks 'Priority Pass?' Then proceeds to tell us 'we aren't accepting those...the lounge is full' (it wasn't). I ask 'is there a waiting list?' And she curtly replies 'no.' Alrighty then. Bye. read more

It was my first time here at 9am before my 11am flight at LGA. I used my Priority Pass to get in this Air Maple Leaf Lounge that you can enter before security by Terminal B. I discovered it rom the help of LoungeBuddy. It is OK with limited amount of food and beverages. Its still worth dropping by to enjoy the quiet time away from people to relax before your flight. They have a complimentary charging booth inside alongside a bookshelf of literature. read more

Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge - Airport Lounges Near Me

First lounge I accessed with my priority pass. Right off the bat it was nice to have access to a relaxed and comfortable environment in the brutal transit camp called LaGuardia airport. The lounge is rather small in size compared to other ones I've been to. I do give them credit for how they've tried to make the best of an awkward space. Went here on a friday night around 7 and it was busy without being crowded. It says there is enough space for 72 people but I think it can accommodate about 35 without getting crowded. There are restrooms inside the lounge which is great. They have a no cell phone use area also which is nice if you want to get work done. Now the negatives, first off there is barely any food on offer. When I went, there was 1 soup, crackers and a bunch of condiments. There weren't even any items that could pass for hors d'ouvres. The bar is sufficient but definatey more limited than what I've seen at other lounges. The wifi although free was pretty weak when we visited which was strange since the place is small to begin with. Now, despite the shortcomings I was about to give the place a 4 star review because we were enjoying a relaxing time here prior to our flight. Felt nice to indulge in some conversation and drinks in a quiet and comfortable setting instead of over paying for tasteless, mediocre food and sitting in uncomfortable cafeteria chairs. However, in the midst of this moment of zen, the front desk lady came and informed us that we had to leave in 5 minutes. It all seemed a little abrupt considering she didn't tell us the place was closing in an hour when we walked in. Maybe 15 or 20 minutes notice would have been nice so we didn't have to chug our drinks. In addition to the lack of notice, the lady sort of hovered over us until we left which was a little off putting. The rest of the staff were really courteous though. Almost a 3.5 but not quite. 3 stars is being on the generous side. read more

This is one of the smallest airport lounges i've ever been in. Food selection is pretty limited. For lunch, there's 2 soups, white or whole wheat bread, and some salads. They do have a bar, but I didn't check it out. Service wise, the staff that go around cleaning up is great. They clear the used dishes pretty quick. However, the manager here is not knowledgeable in terms of what is in their food. The day that I was in the lounge, they offered a swiss chard and bean soup. I looked at the soup, and there looked like there was barley in the soup. I cannot have barley, it's not a severe allergy, but more of a sensitivity. The lounge manager was nearby, so I asked him specifically if there was barley in the soup, and he said no. I thought it was still questionable, so my husband took some of the soup and tasted it, it was definitely barley. Why did the manager of all people not go and find out is beyond me. Who would be held responsible if I did have a severe allergic reaction after consuming the soup?! I'm just glad that I didn't have to pay for this lounge. If you're planning on using your priority pass, don't, just save it for other airports. read more

Tried to enter using my priority pass and was initially denied entrance because we weren't flying out of these sets of gates (although we were flying out of the same terminal A). The reason is because the lounge is so small that this lounge has their own rule of only allowing entrance to those flying out of the closest gates in order to stay under capacity. The front desk was very nice though, and perhaps since we also seemed nice and understanding, he said that we could stay until 3pm, because that's when the lounge gets really crowded. The lounge itself is underwhelming. There's maybe 50 seats and some small tables. No booth seating, no reclining chairs, no napping pods, no showers, and no good food. Snacks are dried pretzels, some tortilla chips and what looks like cheap salsa, mediocre apples, etc. I guess there's free sparkling water, alcohol, and a fancy espresso machine, but that's about it. read more

I got in with my Priority Pass but had to go out of security and through security again, due to my flight not being with Air Canada. Decent lounge, got a few nice fresh bananas and muffins for free. Not sure if it was worth being patted down since I was randomly selected for extra security the second time. But each banana is like, $1.50 past security, so there's that. read more

This lounge is located outside of the security gates so plan ahead. They accepted priority pass at the time i went. There were some good refreshment offerings such as soup, salad, and chips. The bar was also well stocked. I liked the chili and chicken orzo soup. Luckily we were able to find a seat before a rush of people started coming in. I felt bad when it seemed they were struggling to find a seat to settle down. There is a phone charging station and a magazine rack. The bathroom is a single stall which i think is not optimal for the capacity of people they are letting in. Overall, good place to hang out if youre looking to kill some time before a flight. read more

First of all, I had such difficulty finding this lounge -- it's outside security and there are very few signs. I'll be honest- I found the Centurion lounge and walked down that long hallway. Staff was good with drinks. Johnny Walker Black is available ! Their white wine wasn't that good :/ -- didn't get to see the label. Food is really no good - some nacho chips and chocolate chip cookies with two soups. As a Priority Pass member, this is not worth the hassle of getting out of security. They do have a good selection of magazines for you to take on your flight (half French) read more

Overall: 3/5 Mediocre out of the ones I've experienced. But the free food is a +1. Food: 3/5 The 3/5 rating is that out of lounges that provide free food, it's quite bad. BUT a lot of lounges (in the US) don't provide free food at all... so hence the 3/5. It's better than nothing, but not as good as some international premium lounges. Lunch was sandwiches. Soup, salad, etc. are available throughout. The drinks are diverse and free :) WIFI: 2/5 SLOW. Enough to check email on, but not for downloading, streaming, gaming or even smooth browsing experience. I wouldn't trust it for VOIP (using my phone 4G plan instead) Area: 3/5 One table with plugs, 3 small round tables, and lounge area. There's a quiet area with no cellphones allowed. There are also 3 computers available but I wouldn't trust them... last I checked they were full of spyware. Service: 4/5 Staff were friendly, greeted me as I came in read more

This is a very basic lounge. Not too many comfortable seating choices, as most were already occupied. There's a small selection of snacks, such as soup, salad and cookies. They ran out of most items and it took almost an hour to refill, which by then, I was gone. I tried the gumbo soup, which was hot and warmed me up. The chocolate chip cookies were chocolatey and delicious. The salad had apples and was also very good. I saw in the past, they had chips. They no longer have chips. There is a full bar and my husband got whisky on the rocks. read more

I'm not the biggest fan of this lounge compared to others but it does it's purpose. It's located in Terminal B OUTSIDE security at Concourse A. The lounge is very small, holding a max of probably 70 people and the food options are fairly limited. However, the staff members are friendly and work hard to satisfy the visitors. If you have the Priority Pass Select, this is your only option at LGA so you might as well just try it out if you have plenty of time before your flight. read more

I was rejected with Priority Pass. Told it was too crowded because of a lot of delays and to "try again in 2 hours" fairly rudely. My flight will be gone in 2 hours. It wasn't empty but it was hardly full. If this was my first experience with using Priority Pass I'd be a little turned off, but fortunately I've had good experiences elsewhere. read more

This is the only lounge in LGA I've been to so its hard to compare with other airlines. It was a bit difficult to find as I came from toward the central part of terminal and the hallway on third floor is pretty devoid of flyers until I walked all the way till the end. Once inside though their AC definitely needs to be fixed as it was quite stuffy and warm even with the fans they have. However, the place is very quiet and the seating are relatively comfortable. There wasn't much food being offered as other reviewers have said and with their AC not working we weren't really up for hot soups on a hot day. I liked their cold avocado dips the most however. We stayed till about 1-1:30pm but never saw any lunch items being offered. They do have a pretty nice though and wifi was working decently enough. It was nice that they have a charging station and there are few outlets next to the couch seating by the window. Since I visited late morning to early afternoon it wasn't very crowded at all, definitely saw more travelers coming in as we were leaving however. Overall I think its a pretty decent lounge to charge your devices and enjoy some quietness. read more

Not the best for a lounge you pay for/ have a membership for. Extremely dated and small- little selection from food to drinks. Their lounge restroom was quite scary- definitely needs a face lift! There also wasn't much room to sit and could fill up very easily where they'd have to deny guests, I'd assume. I guess it's still better than sitting out at the gate waiting for boarding but not to the standards the lounge should be at. read more

Meh. It beats waiting at the gate. This is a nice and quiet lounge. I came on a Saturday afternoon at 12:30pm. There weren't many food offerings... some muffins yogurts crackers and soup. Would've hoped for some actual lunch foods. I did try the chicken orzo soup though and that was decent. The Chardonnay they stock here was decent too... FYI bar isn't self serve Just a tip for fellow travelers... this is pre security so do plan ahead! read more

Unfortunately this place along with other stores (including liquor)is right outside security so you will need to give yourself ample time to go thru security before your flight. If you have tsa precheck you probabaly will have more time. It's pretty small so it reaches maximal capacity quickly and you cannot enter unless there is someone else that leaves. Drinks you have a nice selection and a server is available to make your drink. Food is limited. Mostly chips and dips, cookies, salads and soups although often times they easily run out. In addition there are beverages available. WiFi is not too bad but I felt the airport WiFi was better. Otherwise not too shabby. I would just have designed this airport better. Hopefully renovations will make some improvement. read more

I finally made it!!! Yahoo... I've heard legendary tales of this place. The magazines, the comfort, the food, the endless snacks, the cocktails, and everything in between.

Great experience! read more
