Flying high
There was a time when lounges were exclusive to first class flyers and their monogrammed valises. These days, anyone with $50 to spare, can sink into a designer swivel chair with a copy of Monocle while waiting to board.
The Maple Leaf lounge is an easy place to pass the hours. Here’s why:
The selection of magazines is as good as it is broad. From fashion to sports and cooking, there’s a title for every traveller.
With a gazillion miles behind you and a fair few more to come, a refreshing shower feels like heaven.
Bypass rubbery chicken on board and load up here instead. A selection of agnolotti, crudités, cheeses and artisan breads hit the spot.
Comfy leather armchairs are kinder on the bottom than those aluminum upright chairs littering the terminal and the hidden nooks are perfect for napping.
Bon Voyage.
