I've visited many airport lounges, and this one has some of the nicest seating and décor I've seen…read more It's spacious, open, and very inviting. They even have a shower room, though I didn't use it. My only real complaint is the food. I was there around noon, and the main dish was beef tacos. Since I don't eat beef--and I know many others don't either--it felt limiting. They did have a bit of chicken mixed into the rice for the tacos, but that was it. I think it would be great if they offered at least two main dish options to accommodate different dietary preferences. Because of that, I ended up sticking to side dishes like mac and cheese, salad, and a few others. On the plus side, the drink selection was excellent, with options like soy milk, V8 vegetable juice, sodas, and more. The bar area was also very nice, and the staff were attentive, quickly clearing plates and keeping the space tidy. Overall, it's a wonderful lounge to relax in, and I'd happily stop here again--I just wish the food had more variety and better flavor.

Nice airport lounge located in Terminal E just after duty free, next to the food court. I used my…read morepriority pass to access this lounge. The lounge itself is fairly spacious with plenty of seating. The staff is welcoming and friendly. I had a morning flight and they had a fair selection of food items which included egg bites, diced potatoes, sausage patties, bagels/bread, an oatmeal bar, donuts, and a coffee machine. The lounge is clean and there was an attendant who came over to clear plates periodically. The bathrooms are also clean and I even saw a shower stall. Overall, a great place to relax in before a flight or during a layover.

I do like all the different kinds of seating (tables, lounge chairs, couches, bar, etc) and it was pretty spacious. Also, there's no buffet and you order on your phone which I liked. They had poutine, mushroom soup, grain bowl, beef tacos, penne pasta, raspberry sorbet, and lemon meringue pie. The beef tacos and the mushroom soup were good. Service was inconsistent, some of the employees were nice and some were very rude. The lounge closes at 10:15 PM so you better get out or you will be yelled at haha.

3.5 stars. This is the first lounge I've been to that has servers instead of buffet style. I used…read moremy Priority Pass to get in. When I first walked in, an employee told me to scan the QR code at my table to order. The website was easy to navigate and use. For food options, they had butter chicken and rice; Thanksgiving meal, which included a slice of turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing; tater tots; desserts like ice cream, carrots cake, raisin tart with ice cream; etc. I ordered the Thanksgiving meal and tater tots. Both were not hot. The slice of turkey tasted fake. I should've tried the butter chicken. They also have a full bar and non-alcoholic drinks, including milk and juice. I got there around 8:30pm and had no trouble finding a table. The table also had plugs. Showers cost extra, but last shower ends at 8:30pm. Bathrooms were clean. The lounge closes at 10:15pm.

My apps and sites have it as SwissAir Chinook Lounge but it's listed here as Servisair's Lounge. Whatever it is, the word Chinook should basically tell you that it is at YYC. The Chinook is located in the Domestic flight area of Concourse A. If you find yourself lost, just jump on the YYC Link shuttle service and get off at the end/beginning of the track. Walk through to the food court area at A and to your left is a set of stairs up or the elevator to the Chinook Lounge. I was looking forward to the place but it was a bit of a let down. It was warm with the mid-afternoon sun was setting and it was pretty warm inside. The fireplace was also going pretty well. It's ok though, take off the winter layers and stay awhile! Still a bit stuffy though. The food and drinks are located together. I didn't really participate too much in the food and drinks. The food was pretty off putting. Inside the fridge were large containers of pre-made sandwiches. You open the lid, get a pair of unsanitary tongs and lift out the little slivers of bread and fillings. There is a fridge that held cheese and cold cuts if you wanted to put something together. Some spirits were offered. I didn't bother. Open another fridge and there is some salad stuff and a vat of potato salad from a tub. Suffice it to say that I'm going to skip the food. Let's look for a nice pint of beer. There was a single tap and I just didn't want to bother. Sat down at a table, had some veggies and tried to do some pre-work before getting on the flight to YVR. I think the WiFi was non-existent. I had to use the Free-YYC one. I've been to the Maple Leaf Lounge at most of the Canadian airports. In YYC, MLL is far superior to this offering. I was here because I flew WJ and not AC. Also because my status with AMEX and Priority Pass allows me into the place without charge. If I had to pay to be here, it would have been a waste. 2.5 Stars. Probably will fly out of this place on AC when possible. If not, I guess I'll be back here again...hohum... Cheers/Jeers - you pick.

It's a nice place to enjoy a coffee or mixed drink, but otherwise not worth paying. Update: March 2019 Since Westjet took over management of this lounge the food and drink is much better.

The airport is very clean and well-organized with decent selections for food, drink, and lounges. I really like the Aspire Lounge that I visited using my Priority Pass.

I mean you run into the coolest people during this weekend-Like I saw the CEO of clutch twice with his wife and two kids-and he was flying in economy. The airport is designed reasonable with the YYC link, and the people movers (throw inoperable in my recent visit). Washrooms are clean, shuttle services and info desk in the baggage pick up. I'm always travelling with oversized baggage here and haven't received a lost or delayed baggage. My four other times visiting was using Air Canada and my recent was using Flair. Car rentals are just one crossing away from the airport. But after making purchase just a warning, some areas after the elevator can be very narrow and if your hauling an oversized luggage like me (I'll show a pic) umm it can be a body bag sort of challenge. Just a tip, Budget is a long walk. Avis is closer if you want less walking. I've had the lounge access before-but as of late Westjets lounge is now open through Visa companion. But didn't get to try it because my flight was at 1:05am... out of YYC. There are improvements in progress. As a skier, I find the experience here a bit unique. I had no issue with my body bag luggage but I watched another patron get his ski gear ripped apart.

Ugh I have so many mixed feelings about this place.. I suppose thats in a large part due to the…read moreinconsistency of service and quality between visits.. There's usually a great deal of variation between one visit and the next... even within one visit... That being said, when it's good its EXCELLENT and when it's bad its like "where am I and what is this place?". Let's call it the YYC lounge lottery for now.. Huge bonus points for the sophisticated and complete gluten free menu. I've been glutarded from a very young age and have often found myself sidelined to a salad bar while everyone else feasts on whatever delicious things they want.. This restaurant is a progressive one (in the dietary sense). Service is good. Sometimes. Other times its just awful. Again with the lottery. Luck is a fickle mistress. Now my pet peeve that is consistent across all my visits here (dozens and dozens of visits): This hotel has a large business traveler component. That includes me, and my associates. Every time I check into the Delta (with its itty bitty rooms), the last thing one wants to do is sit in your cramped room all night with your laptop and various electronic devices that are corporate necessities. Far more preferable would be to go down to the YYC lounge and have a few drinks and eat, and work on some tasks on your laptop/ipad/tablet/cell phone.. BUT, the management here seems to have completely overlooked the fact that these devices need electricity.. There isn't a single electric outlet to be found., So after a long flight, with your devices all discharged, you either have to sit right at the bar (often fully occupied), or sit and wait for a full charge in your room before you can come down and relax. This is HIGHLY inconvenient.. When I asked them why they mumbled something about "safety". Puleezee, wake up and smell the 2014.. Starbucks and coffee shops and Denny's and all sorts of restaurants world wide that are with the times often have many outlets available to customers.. So if you're going to lie, at least lie convincingly. I know it may seem like a simple thing, but when you're exhausted and just want to chillax in a lounge, the last thing you want to be worrying about constantly is how you're going to keep your devices charged (for whatever reason you're using them).. To sum it up, nothing I've mentioned here is a deal breaker. I will continue flying through YYC and stay at the Delta and drink at the YYC lounge at night.. I just want to say it like it is and point out that just like the aging and decaying YYC airport, this lounge could stand to get with the times as well. PS: Try the chicken wings, they rock

The pizza can be very crumbly on your lap. The fries had nice gravy. I love reaching the soggy fry bottom toward the end of the meal. Our server was nice but once the food was out she wasn't around so we couldn't request additional sauces or more frequent water refills. Although when the water refilled it had a tap taste so probably best to get water from the 7 Eleven. The high tables have room for a lot of dishes but you'll need to push your luggage toward the edges of this place for room. The ambiance was nice. Not too crowded and liked the Christmas music vibes. They also have arrivals times so you can keep track from where you're seated.
