Cathay Pacific Lounge
★4.5(182 reviews)YVR
Vancouver's Cathay lounge — cooked-to-order meals for oneworld premium passengers.
The Cathay Pacific First and Business Class Lounge at Vancouver International is the most consistent branded-airline lounge at YVR, serving Cathay Pacific First and Business Class passengers and eligible oneworld status holders. Access follows your ticket and frequent-flyer tier rather than a membership or day pass. The food offering is a notch above a standard contract lounge: alongside a hot and cold buffet and snacks, the kitchen prepares cooked-to-order meals, and the bar pours soft drinks, house wine and beer, and liquor. It's a comfortable, calm place to eat and unwind before a long-haul departure, with the familiar Cathay Pacific service style. If you're flying Cathay in a premium cabin out of Vancouver, or hold qualifying oneworld status, this is the lounge to head for.

A calm, comfortable place to get light work done before a flight, with Wi-Fi and seating you can use for a laptop. It's geared toward relaxing and dining rather than dedicated desk work, but it's quiet enough for email.
