Air Canada’s Maple Leaf Lounge in Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) has been operating following a refurbishment that added roughly 250 square feet to the facility and introduced new seating, dedicated work areas and charging points at every seat.
Where it is and how to reach it
The lounge is located in Terminal 6, Level 4, near Gate 65A. It is reached by elevator, though the reception desk sits in a narrow hallway and the entrance can be easy to miss, according to a visitor review published in October 2026.
Facilities and access
The November 2024 refurbishment refreshed seating and created dedicated workspaces. The review notes a mix of hot and cold buffet items, self-service alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and good natural light in the space. Power outlets are provided at every seat.
- Location: Terminal 6, Level 4, near Gate 65A
- Refurbishment: November 2024; added about 250 sq ft

Eligibility check and practical note
The published account describes an instance in summer 2025 where the lounge’s electronic access system did not recognise a passenger’s credentials. The visitor held Aeroplan 50K status and was travelling on a United Polaris boarding pass; when the system failed to confirm eligibility an agent manually checked the pass and status, recorded the details and admitted the passenger. The lounge operator’s access rules and offerings may change, so travellers should carry proof of same-day travel and elite status.
