Enjoy: Complimentary light snacks and alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages, including beer on tap, cappuccino and espresso. Wide selection of newspapers and magazines.



Yes, Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounges serve complimentary alcohol as part of their standard amenities in 2026. This includes a selection of beer, wine, and spirits. In most lounges, particularly at major hubs like Toronto (YYZ) and Montreal (YUL), there are "self-serve" stations where you can pour your own local craft beers or choose from a variety of international wines. For premium spirits or complex cocktails, some of the more high-end lounges, like the Air Canada Signature Suite, offer elevated mixology services. It is important to note that the service of alcohol generally begins after 11:00 AM, though some locations may offer "breakfast" mimosas or Baileys for your coffee earlier. As of March 2026, the newly refreshed Montreal Domestic Lounge also features an expanded bar menu as part of its grand reopening.
