Premium food options
If you are not interested in going to the food court at Edmonton Airport, and you would like to explore more food options, then head on over to the lounges!
The lounges are an excellent choice if you have some time to kill before your flight, and also if you would like to relax and enjoy premium foods and complimentary beverages.
There are a total of three lounges at the YEG. Some of them offer snacks and finger foods, while others offer premium food and buffets. And don’t forget the great selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks you can find in these halls!
Your choice of lounge does, however, depend on your destination. For instance, if your flight’s destination is somewhere in the United States, then your choice is reserved to the Plaza Premium.
This lounge can be found in two different locations at the YEG, and each of these halls caters to different passengers.
The hall located near gate #88 is specifically dedicated to passengers of flights going to the United States, while the hall near gate #54 is dedicated to serving passengers of domestic and international flights.
The YEG also offers reduced costs for all passengers to these lounges, so don’t miss out!
