Cathay Pacific Lounge

The Cathay Pacific Lounge at Vancouver International Airport occupies a 510 sq metre, 108-seat mezzanine above Pier D's international gates. Designed by London studio Studioilse, the space features cherry walls, limestone floors, hardwood ceilings, brass highlights, and Asian-inspired hanging light fixtures. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views over the tarmac, runway, and North Shore mountains.

The Signature Noodle Bar

Cathay's standout feature is the open-kitchen Noodle Bar, where chefs cook dishes to order: wonton noodle soup, dan dan noodles, and Hong Kong-style fish ball noodle soup — all presented in handsome tableware on traditional trays. A full drinks selection rounds out the offer: sparkling wine (Ferrari Brut), red and white wines, beer, spirits, juices, and fresh espresso.

The Pantry

The Pantry runs alongside the Noodle Bar as a self-serve buffet, offering tapas-style plates, antipasto, charcuterie, artisan cheese, seasonal fruit, and desserts with a globally inspired menu. Soft drinks, juices, and a barista-quality espresso machine are available throughout the day.

The Bureau

The Bureau business centre houses three Mac computers each with a dedicated printer and tarmac views — a rarity in Canadian lounges. Two ADA-compliant shower suites feature walk-in rain showers, limestone finishes, brass fixtures, and Aesop bath products. Every seat has embedded power outlets and USB-A/C ports, so devices stay charged without hunting for sockets.

This is an eligibility-only lounge — no walk-in or pay-at-door access is available. Note: American Airlines AAdvantage members are not eligible when travelling solely on North American routes.
