Desjardins Odyssey Lounge (Transborder)

Opened March 1, 2024, the Desjardins Odyssey Lounge (Transborder) is the newest lounge in YUL's US Transborder zone — a unique Québec-flavoured hospitality partnership between Desjardins Group and Plaza Premium. Located near Gates 76–77, accessible after duty free by turning left, the lounge is specifically available to passengers holding US-bound boarding passes for Gates 72 to 89.

At first glance it resembles a well-designed restaurant or café rather than a traditional airport lounge — a full bar sits at the entrance, with food options along the right wall. One complimentary alcoholic drink is included per guest on arrival. The food selection is light but varied: hot dishes like stir-fried beef and penne during evening visits, snacks, salads, and soups. Desjardins Odyssey cardholders benefit from 8–12 free visits per year before a 50% discount kicks in, making it particularly attractive for frequent Montréal–US travelers. Amex Platinum and DragonPass holders also have access. There are no dedicated washrooms inside the lounge — a limitation worth noting for longer stays.
