More and more airports are opening premium lounges that you can use for a small fee. Vancouver International Airport has just launched two of these. They are available to all passengers, regardless of airline or class of travel, for an admission fee of $25 per person ($15 for children aged six to twelve and free for children five and under.)
Plaza Premium's arrivals lounge, on Level 2 of the International Terminal, is accessible by passengers arriving on US and international flights after they have cleared Canadian Customs. Their departures lounge is located past Security on Level 3.
These lounges offer all passengers the comforts, tranquility and services once reserved exclusively for business class travellers. Complimentary snacks and self-service bar, television and internet access, newspapers and magazines - even the use of shower facilities - are all included in the price of admission. Additional services are available on a pay-per-use basis, including clothes-pressing and business support services such as faxing and photocopying.
Vancouver's Plaza Premium lounges are North America's first pay-per-use airport lounges, but it is a growing trend in Europe, Asia and the Pacific. They are particularly popular with cost-conscious business travellers. A pay-per-use lounge means they can give up the inflight comfort of the business-class cabin and retain the perks and conveniences of the premium service airport lounge. Plaza Premium lounges are established features in Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Sydney airports.
