As we entered, there were two clerks at the front desk. A male clerk was helping another guest,…read morewhile the female clerk looked at us without greeting us. She asked for our boarding passes and, after scanning them, immediately told us we couldn't enter because our tickets were not business class. We were confused because we believed we could enter using our AMEX card. However, she quickly dismissed us without explaining any other access options. It wasn't until the male clerk stepped in that we were shown which credit cards were eligible for lounge entry (such as Aeroplan metal cards). While looking at the list, my husband noticed the Chase Sapphire Reserve card -- the last card displayed -- which we have. Only then were we allowed to enter. Unfortunately, the service from the female check-in clerk left a very poor impression. She showed no customer service etiquette, seemed quick to judge that we wouldn't qualify for entry, and offered no effort to help clarify the lounge access options. Her attitude came across as pretentious, as if we didn't belong there. Not the kind of service you want to receive after a 15 hour flight.. To make matters worse, the lounge itself was mediocre. The food was cold and the selection was quite limited.

I will say, although I was glad to have it, this lounge did not impress as while I was finally able to find a charging station at the very very back bar seating area that had powered outlets (right side as you enter), the office room was locked, and almost all the chairs were missing plugs. The single one I found between two chairs didn't work. The elevator which takes you there has definitely seen better days but I was able to sit in the lounge and charge a bit before boarding, so overall three stars.

Walking into the Plaza Premium Lounge, I had pretty realistic expectations -- especially coming…read morefrom frequent visits to lounges like the American Express Centurion Lounge and Delta Sky Club. Unfortunately, this one didn't quite measure up. The overall experience felt a bit underwhelming. The space itself could definitely use some TLC -- the furniture looked worn and dated, and it gave off more of a tired, well-used vibe rather than a relaxing pre-flight retreat. One of the bigger misses for me was the lack of accessible power outlets, which is something you really come to rely on when traveling. That said, it wasn't a terrible stop -- just not quite what I've come to expect from premium lounge experiences (as its name would imply). With a refresh and a few updates, it could easily be brought back up to par. For now, it's serviceable, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to revisit.

As part of my 12 hour layover at the Vancouver airport, I had to use up all my lounge access for…read morethe year as I still had 4 visits available. I was looking for a Plaza lounge. I saw one that looked like a little cafe and there was no chance I was going to waste it there. After walking a bit I stumbled upon this one, walked a little further and didn't see another one so came here to kill a little bit of time. When I went to check in, I was told that I couldn't be here for more than 2 hours. I don't ever recall being told this in Asia at the Plaza lounges but that was fine. I checked in, took the elevator up and looked around. The area is actually pretty spacious but it's not obvious as there are a few different areas. The thing is, I think there was more people upstairs than there was areas to sit. I went to get a coffee and checked out what they were serving. They were serving breakfast but they were transitioning to lunch so I waited a little longer as the eggs, bacon and other items didn't look that great. When they rolled over the food items, I grabbed a plate of a few lunch items to sample. I had to walk around the area 2 or 3 times to finally find an open seat. I sat down and tried the plate I just put together. It was OK, nothing really stood out from it. They also offered some free drinks. I didn't really pay to much attention to it as I was satisfied with my coffee. There were a few TVs and there was a nice view overlooking the airport. The lounge looks a bit well used as some of the items look like it could use a refresh. Not the worst lounge but definitely nowhere as nice as some of the ones I've been to in the last couple of years.

Fairmont holds high quality standards and they deliver a great lounge experience at the YVR…read moreairport. I don't recall most international airport bars or foods; yet this remains a memorable spot. Or i may be bias towards Vancouver, I recommend for following reasons -- Convenient choice for hotel guests, relaxing stop when you have layover time at YVR airport, and this place has ambiance suitable for both short coffee/tea business meetups in between flights and for saying more intimate goodbye's over drinks when sending someone off at the airport. (those farewell moments may be more memorable and special here~) I enjoy chilling here for a drink or a bite before a flight because it feels more cozy here, and def more relaxed than the airport lounges inside security. The fireplace is a nice bonus plus you can sit by your view of choice and enjoy fine dining quality in a relaxed lounge setting. And sometimes there's live music at nights, which is my favorite part. Service here should be on par but unfortunately, it is not always on par with business VIP airport lounges, as this place can be under staffed or have a sick staff still working a shift. When the staff is new or sick and wearing a mask, they may forget to bring cutlery and be slow in getting to your table...Luckily, it's easier for one to take it easy and be patient here with its cozy vibes. This Jetside Bar can be casual, intimate, romantic, professional or even fun for people watching, depending on where you sit and which menu you choose, from its bar menu to dining menu to breakfast menu to dessert menu, etc. Solid dining option with good drinks and foods + flexible and adaptable to your occasions.
