Plaza Premium Lounge (US Transborder)
★4.2(480 reviews)YEG · Main Terminal · airside
Edmonton's only US-departures lounge — Priority Pass, a hot buffet and a quiet seat past preclearance.
Plaza Premium Lounge (US Transborder) sits airside at Edmonton International near gate 88, beyond US preclearance, and is the only lounge available to passengers flying to the United States from YEG. Because Canada operates US preclearance, you'll clear US passport control and security before reaching this side of the terminal — and once you have, this lounge is your single airside option. Access is on Priority Pass, so present a valid membership with your boarding pass at the door. Inside it's a comfortable, quieter space in the Plaza Premium style, with a hot and cold buffet and soft drinks, set about a minute's walk from the food court. It keeps shorter hours than the main lounge, opening in the early morning and closing in the late afternoon, with a two-hour maximum stay, so it suits the daytime bank of US departures rather than late-evening flights.
Crowding · comfortable
A quiet place to sit and regroup before a US flight, but it isn't set up as a work lounge — Wi-Fi isn't listed and power at seats isn't guaranteed. Fine for a short stop, less so for getting real work done.
A hot and cold buffet in the Plaza Premium style, with hot dishes alongside a cold spread of salads, sandwiches and snacks, plus soft drinks and juices. It's self-service and geared to a quick bite before a US-bound flight rather than a full meal.
