Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) has one dedicated lounge — the Aspire | Air Canada Café in the domestic departures area. The lounge accommodates about 133 guests and offers amenities like Wi-Fi, food & beverages, bar service, TVs, and workspaces. Access is available through Priority Pass, DragonPass, certain American Express cards, paid entry, and for eligible Air Canada status holders. It’s designed as a modern, comfortable space for travelers flying domestically. There is no separate Porter Airlines lounge at YTZ, so this is currently the only lounge option for pre-flight relaxation or productivity.
