Plaza Premium Lounge

Edmonton's main airside lounge — Priority Pass, a hot buffet and long hours opposite gate 52.
Plaza Premium Lounge sits airside in Edmonton International's single main terminal, opposite departure gate 52 in the general departures area. It's the larger and better-equipped of the airport's two lounges, serving domestic and international flights. Access is on Priority Pass, so you don't need airline status to get in — present a valid membership with your boarding pass at the door. Inside, it follows the familiar Plaza Premium template: a hot and cold buffet, soft drinks, comfortable seating zones, Wi-Fi, TV and flight-information screens to keep an eye on your gate. The lounge keeps long hours, opening early in the morning and staying open until just before midnight, which makes it useful for late departures. A two-hour maximum stay applies, so it's best timed for the back half of a longer wait.
Crowding · comfortable
A workable spot before a flight, with Wi-Fi and general seating you can use for a laptop. Fine for email and light work, though it isn't a dedicated business lounge and power at seats isn't guaranteed.
A hot and cold buffet in the usual Plaza Premium style, with hot dishes alongside a cold spread of salads, sandwiches and snacks, plus soft drinks and juices. The selection is self-service and suits a quick bite before a flight rather than a full sit-down meal.
