00:00:01
hey everyone this is uh Tony from trophy
00:00:04
travel experiences today I'm at YVR
00:00:06
Airport and we're just going to do some
00:00:08
Lounge uh reviews this is all the three
00:00:11
international lounges that you can be at
00:00:14
when you travel internationally from YVR
00:00:16
so I'm going to go to the new uh Plaza
00:00:19
premium lounge and then I'm going to go
00:00:21
to the Sky Lounge and then finally the
00:00:24
air cannon Lounge just check them out
00:00:25
and see what they have selection it's
00:00:27
early in the morning today so I'm going
00:00:28
to see their breakfast ction so the
00:00:31
first Lounge I'm going to go to is the
00:00:33
plaza premium lounge and this is near
00:00:36
this brand new Lounge just open I think
00:00:38
in this year of January
00:00:40
2025 and so it's near gate 59 or 67 and
00:00:46
that's where it
00:00:56
is so first impressions that this is a
00:00:59
brand new Lounge that's just open in
00:01:00
January of 2025 the first impression is
00:01:03
it looks great I guess probably because
00:01:04
there's no one here in the morning but
00:01:06
they also have I'll show you right now
00:01:08
when I pan through they also have a u
00:01:10
first class Lounge I guess for you have
00:01:12
to pay a little bit more for a first
00:01:14
class Lounge but this is the regular
00:01:16
lounge and I'll take you through it's
00:01:17
really nice uh well welld designed so
00:01:21
when you come in you get the F this
00:01:23
reception area there's a first class
00:01:25
Lounge that um they can go into I guess
00:01:28
you have to pay an extra bit and this is
00:01:30
the new Lounge so it goes through
00:01:37
and it actually looks very nice I think
00:01:39
it's in the morning so right now it's
00:01:41
really quiet so this is excellent I
00:01:43
guess uh but it looks brand new so it's
00:01:46
excellent and look at this this is so
00:01:49
nice I can just walk around and um kind
00:01:53
of look at this let's look at the food
00:01:55
selection this is again remember this is
00:01:57
just breakfast so can't expect
00:02:00
too much but you got your eggs spinach
00:02:03
and cheese
00:02:05
frada then you got PE
00:02:07
potatoes pork
00:02:10
sausages they got a little gu an omet
00:02:14
station nice it's around to this side
00:02:18
it's a quite a nice loue
00:02:21
area General impressions of this Lounge
00:02:23
I really like it but it could be because
00:02:25
it's early in the morning and there's no
00:02:27
one here you look at the pods in the
00:02:28
back there I think those are really nice
00:02:30
because they've got a little hook and
00:02:32
then they've got um your own desk and
00:02:34
then also um some plugs for you so it's
00:02:37
actually quite nice I can see how this
00:02:39
Lounge could be really crowded in the
00:02:42
crowded time because it's actually not
00:02:43
that big uh right now it's quiet but you
00:02:46
know when it gets full up I can see it
00:02:48
being really crowded and a totally
00:02:50
different experience but I liked it so
00:02:53
the next Lounge I'm going to is going to
00:02:54
be the sky team Lounge I see there's a
00:02:57
little bit more lineup and I'll just
00:02:58
mention I get access to both put these
00:03:00
Lounge through the ax Platinum cart so
00:03:02
let's check it out so this Lounge
00:03:05
Services um quite a few Ain It's Kind
00:03:08
much busier but actually it's later in
00:03:10
the day so as you can see um it's got a
00:03:14
nice bar area here so that's got uh nice
00:03:18
lers and as you came through here um it
00:03:22
is busier but again it could be just
00:03:25
because it's later in the day so a bit
00:03:28
more narrow say it's is slightly bigger
00:03:31
than the uh a premium
00:03:33
lount it's just to film the uh food area
00:03:37
so actually they went to the lunch
00:03:39
already so kind of
00:03:42
neat with cookies
00:03:45
here this is a little extra they
00:03:47
actually have a noodle bar and that
00:03:49
happens at 11:
00:03:52
a.m. so overall impressions of this
00:03:54
Lounge pretty busy but again it's a
00:03:57
little bit later in the day so maybe
00:03:58
that's why but it does service quite a
00:04:00
few uh Airlines I didn't take the food
00:04:03
area because it's just too busy with
00:04:05
people and so what it's like there's got
00:04:08
a nice selection they've got spaghetti
00:04:10
they've got like meatballs they got some
00:04:12
sandwiches I said but it's uh much
00:04:14
busier so I probably would stick with
00:04:16
the um pyan Plaza or the priority Plaza
00:04:19
Lounge um and then next stop we're going
00:04:21
to go to the air can Lounge see how that
00:04:23
works so I guess this is the advantage
00:04:25
of being Air Canada you get the lounge
00:04:27
so it's right after the gates in IND
00:04:29
special this is the lounge here so you
00:04:32
just walk in through here and You' got
00:04:34
the elevator that goes up to the
00:04:36
lounge so I'm here at the Air Canada
00:04:38
Lounge so this is a Signature Lounge
00:04:41
I'll show you the it's quite a big
00:04:42
Lounge actually um it is busy but I
00:04:45
think it's actually still better than
00:04:46
the Sky Lounge um so it's nice and
00:04:49
comfortable got a nice seat here they do
00:04:51
have quite a bit of um place here and
00:04:53
then they also have a signature Suite
00:04:55
upstairs if you're full business class
00:04:58
then you get to have that in this
00:05:00
situation I was upgraded to business
00:05:01
class so then I don't get access to that
00:05:03
Suite so as you come through the
00:05:06
entrance you will actually get the
00:05:08
there's a signature Suite so that's for
00:05:10
people that have business class tickets
00:05:12
and then when you come in here it's
00:05:14
actually quite a nice open
00:05:16
space it's quite a nice lounge and then
00:05:19
this is the food area it's nice small
00:05:22
but um still good it's got enough food
00:05:26
for everyone to eat so quite nicely laid
00:05:29
out I see there's some nice um kind of
00:05:32
things here that's little nice and then
00:05:35
if you roll around here that is the main
00:05:37
part of the lounge quite a bit big
00:05:40
Lounge so I quite like it actually nice
00:05:42
bar area also a closer look I'm really
00:05:45
impressed with their food selections
00:05:46
they do have a noodle station that you
00:05:48
can kind of go to here and then this is
00:05:50
their lunch serice so maybe that's why
00:05:52
I'm a little bit more impressed so it's
00:05:54
got the um
00:05:56
meatballs then we've got some
00:06:01
vegetables and also some
00:06:04
broccoli you turn over this side this is
00:06:07
also nice they've got a little self-
00:06:09
served salsa and uh chips station with a
00:06:13
little bit dessert and then going over
00:06:16
to this side they got full-on soft
00:06:19
drinks beer wine so lots of things by
00:06:22
the tap they've got all these things by
00:06:24
the top and then their um lunch
00:06:27
selection has got a lot of
00:06:30
salad
00:06:33
samosas so this is the bar area look at
00:06:36
this little bit it's got a great
00:06:37
selection self sered you can do what you
00:06:42
like final thoughts I think the um Sky
00:06:45
Lounge is probably the place you don't
00:06:46
want to go to it's got a lot of uh
00:06:50
airlines that it supports so it's a bit
00:06:51
more crowded um I think the plaza
00:06:54
premium Lounge is very nice it's a new
00:06:56
Lounge it's quite spacious it's a little
00:06:58
bit on this small side I guess my pick
00:07:01
if you did have a choice is Air Canada
00:07:03
Lounge so a lot of people have access to
00:07:05
that um through I guess either you've
00:07:08
got a business class ticket or you've
00:07:09
got a status or so I think this is the
00:07:12
best Lounge in fact of all the lounges
00:07:16
um it's got the best food selection it's
00:07:18
got the most uh comfortable seating and
00:07:22
also if you're flying business class or
00:07:25
a regular ticket then you can use their
00:07:27
Signature suites I've got another video
00:07:29
on that uh which I'll put at the end of
00:07:32
this video so hope you've enjoyed this
00:07:33
video until next time safe travels
