Air Canada

A quick touchdown space on YVR's domestic concourse — grab-and-go, Lavazza coffee, power everywhere.

About this lounge

The Air Canada Café at Vancouver International is a modern touchdown space on the domestic concourse, situated on Pier C between gates C46 and C47. Inspired by the popular Air Canada Café at Toronto Pearson, it's designed for travellers on the go rather than as a full-service lounge. Expect an expansive complimentary selection of snacks, finger food and grab-and-go options, plus Lavazza specialty coffee and nitro cold brew, with house wine and beer also available. The warm, stylish space is fitted with 52 seats and plenty of power points and USB-C ports, so you can charge up while you wait. The seating is banquette and high-top style — there are no plush armchairs here — because the café is built for short, productive stays. It welcomes Air Canada business class customers, Star Alliance Gold members, and select Air Canada-branded credit card holders travelling domestically; note that inbound passengers connecting to an international destination do not have access.

Food & drink

A grab-and-go offering built for speed: an expansive complimentary selection of snacks, finger food and grab-and-go items, with Lavazza specialty coffee and nitro cold brew the highlight. House wine and beer and soft drinks round it out — fuel for a quick stop rather than a sit-down meal.
