Do you pay for drinks in the Maple Leaf lounge?

Maple Leaf Lounge Overview Complimentary showers are also available at certain lounges to freshen up before your next flight. Most significantly, all food and drink, including alcohol, are complimentary at these lounges.



No, you do not pay for drinks in the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge. In 2026, one of the primary high-fidelity perks of lounge access is the "all-inclusive" nature of the food and beverage service. This includes a full range of high-fidelity alcoholic options—such as local Canadian beers on tap, a selection of wines, and various spirits—as well as non-alcoholic beverages like specialty coffees, teas, sodas, and juices. The service is typically self-serve or features a staffed bar area where you can request a "High-Fidelity" cocktail or a specific wine pour at no extra cost. This complimentary service is part of the premium high-fidelity experience that justifies the lounge's entry requirements, whether you gain access through a Business Class ticket, Elite Status (Aeroplan 50K and above), or a premium credit card membership. For 2026 travelers, enjoying a quiet drink and a light meal in the lounge is a high-fidelity way to escape the bustle of the terminal before a flight, making it a highly valued amenity for frequent flyers and premium passengers.
