Air Canada Lounge Review Toronto is part of the Bula! Fiji Hub Trip Report. This post is also part of the Melbourne & Bangkok Residencies.
Here are some fundamental life questions addressed to Air Canada:
- How are all your flights delayed (see Air Canada DTW to YYZ: Expensive in CAD, Expensive in Points & Close Call? Connection Flight before Fiji Cancelled)?
- How do you screw up a bagel? Typically, anything made with cream cheese makes life better (reference #philadelphiaroll).
The answer to the first, as my Canadian cousin told me, is very simple: It’s Air Canada. The answer to the second, I could not figure out while I was waiting for my flight to Vancouver to board and cannot figure out now while I write this post.

Thankfully, there was Canada Dry Ginger Ale.
And for my lovers of sweets, there was Canadian Maple Syrup.
But there was no beer this early in the morning.

Overall
This was literally a stale lounge.

One might add that while Air Canada has one of the worst major airline punctuality records in North America – fellow Canadian airline WestJet being the worst – both airlines have the misfortune to route much of their traffic through Toronto international Airport (CYYZ). This airport is a perennial “worst-in-the-world” title holder so WestJet & Air Canada are not entirely to blame. Mind you my wife & I have a 100% “not-even-close” record with both airlines over the last year (four flights each), with no flights going from, to or through CYYZ. Both airlines maintain & fly their aircraft splendidly, so go figure.
You’ll see tomorrow that my flight was great when it finally took off.
