Air France / KLM Crown Lounge

Completely redesigned and reopened in September 2023, the KLM Crown Lounge at Terminal 3 is widely regarded as the best international lounge available at Pearson's older terminal. Located near Gate C33 on Level 2, just above the international departure hall, the renovated space reflects KLM's signature blue-and-cream European aesthetic — a sharp visual departure from the contract lounge standard and one of the more distinctive interiors at the airport.

The lounge offers table service alongside a curated food and beverage menu that includes wine, beer, and spirits, along with newspapers, television, Wi-Fi, printing facilities, and charging throughout. Access is available to Air France, KLM, and SkyTeam partner Business and First Class passengers, SkyTeam Elite Plus frequent flyers, and Priority Pass, DragonPass, and Mastercard Travel Pass holders. At a $50 walk-in day pass — notably less than Plaza Premium — it's also one of the more affordable paid-entry lounges at Pearson. For international travelers departing Terminal 3, it consistently ranks as the most pleasant atmosphere in the building.
