About this lounge

The Aspire Lounge International is Calgary's lounge for non-US international flights, airside in Concourse D of the International Terminal. Access is flexible: DragonPass members are welcome and a walk-in day pass is sold, so you don't need airline status to get in. Inside you'll find a complimentary hot and cold buffet alongside snacks, a bar serving house wine, beer and liquor at no charge (with premium drinks for sale), shower facilities, TVs and Wi-Fi. Getting there is a short walk with a twist — follow the signs for 'Lounge', and at Chili's continue to the lounge lobby and take the lift up to the entrance. Opening hours run roughly from 06:30 into the evening, varying slightly by day. For travellers leaving Calgary on an international flight, this is the airside lounge to head for.

A workable spot for light tasks before an international flight, with Wi-Fi and general seating. There's no dedicated business centre, so it's best for email and a quick catch-up rather than long sessions.
