Aspire AMEX Lounge

Montreal's Amex co-branded lounge — complimentary for Platinum and Centurion, plus Priority Pass and pay-in.
The Aspire Amex Lounge is a pay-per-use lounge in Montreal-Trudeau's domestic departures, co-branded with American Express. Holders of the American Express Platinum Card, Business Platinum Card and Centurion Card issued in Canada receive complimentary priority access; the lounge also welcomes Priority Pass members and pay-in guests, so there are several ways in. It's a compact, intimate space with seating for around 100, which keeps the feel personal but means it can fill at peak times. Food runs to a full-service restaurant element rather than only a buffet, and the bar serves house wine, beer and liquor, complimentary soft drinks and premium drinks for sale. A flexible domestic-departures option whether you carry the Amex card, a Priority Pass or neither.
Crowding · busy at peak
A comfortable spot for light work before a flight, with seating you can use for a laptop. Fine for email; not a dedicated business lounge.
A full-service restaurant element sets this lounge apart from a basic buffet, served alongside complimentary snacks and a bar with house wine, beer and liquor, complimentary soft drinks and premium drinks available for purchase. A more sit-down food offering for domestic departures.
