Aspire WestJet Garden Lounge
★3.4(1,649 reviews)YYC
Calgary's newest US-transborder lounge — a garden-themed WestJet and Aspire space.
The Aspire WestJet Garden is Calgary's newest lounge, opened in April 2025 as a co-branded space operated by Swissport — a global airport services provider — and WestJet, Calgary's home airline. It sits in the Concourse E US-transborder area, past US pre-clearance, as an extension of the existing Aspire Lounge Transborder, adding extra capacity for the morning bank of US departures. The design leans into a fresh, airy garden theme with plenty of greenery. WestJet premium passengers are given priority access, but the lounge remains open to all travellers flying to the United States who buy a paid day pass, so airline status isn't required. Inside you'll find a complimentary hot and cold buffet alongside snacks, and a bar serving house wine, beer and liquor at no charge. For US-bound passengers leaving Calgary, it's a welcome extra option alongside the neighbouring Aspire Transborder lounge.
