Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge – Los Angeles, CA (LAX)

Opened in May 2017 as part of Air Canada’s move from Terminal 2, the Maple Leaf Lounge at Los Angeles airport Terminal 6 welcomes club members, Star Alliance Gold passengers, and Air Canada Business Class passengers.

The Maple Leaf Lounge is located in the vicinity of gates 65A and 65B. To reach the lounge, go past the entrance to the Alaska Lounge and veer right, then look for the private elevator to the upper floor.

Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge LAX design

Located on the mezzanine level in Terminal 6, the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge sports a fresh, luminous and modern décor, which pays homage to Canadian design and materials.

Beyond the lobby is an elegant living room area furnished with enticing couches, club chairs from Calgary-based Birchwood, and exquisite natural wood end tables from Brent Comber of British Columbia. The ensemble is enhanced by fresh flowers which add a touch of dynamic color to the otherwise relatively subdued palette dominated by whites and earth tones.

The setup is exquisite, yet somewhat impractical. As the lounge fills up at peak times with a majority of solo travelers, the living room layout, which caters primarily to small groups, loses some of its appeal.

Fortunately, more traditional seating is available by the window wall, with pairs of seats separated by side tables. The lounge is bathed in daylight, with uplifting views of the tarmac.

The adjacent room, behind a lightweight wooden divider, is home to a buffet and bar area, in a feast of dark and light contrasts subtly highlighted by modern LED lighting. A small adjacent wine wall evokes Air Canada’s larger lounges in Canada.

Across the buffet is a communal table with Air Canada’s signature red chairs, which works both as a dining spot and as a convenient workspace. The large table is flanked by a series of more intimate dining tables for two.

Power and USB ports are located at every seat, including in the dining area.

Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge – Los Angeles, CA (LAX)

The Maple Leaf Lounge at Los Angeles international airport Terminal 6 is an intimate and tastefully decorated space with ample daylight and expansive tarmac views. Air Canada offers a satisfying food and beverage selection, and conveniences such as power outlets at every seat.

However, with seating for only 120 customers, the club can fill up at peak times. Also, this location lacks shower suites.

Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge North America members and business class customers can visit the United Club in the adjacent Terminal 7 as an alternative, where they’ll find an expansive space along with an outdoor deck, though the United Club is equally packed at peak departure times.
