Prior to flying Air Canada’s Boeing 777 business class from Frankfurt to Toronto, I visited the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge. As a Star Alliance business class passenger you have the option of using this or the Lufthansa Business Lounge, so I visited both during my time at the airport.

I've love the view because you can watch so many planes take off and land. I sit there with FlightRadar open and just geek out at all the plane traffic. Its a wonderful lounge to spend some time during the day. It wasn't crowded. I sat in the back by the windows. You can see so much activity.
I need to get my mind out of the gutter.
Where you said “good shower rooms” I read it as “GOLDEN shower rooms.”
Thanks for the inadvertent laugh, though!
Sorry but this must be right when it opens (did you camp put by the door????) By 9am it's standing room only.
Catering is the same, and views are much nicer at the Senator lounge across the hall.
I have also never seen this or the one in London crowded . Same style the two of them but why are these so nice but the local ones especially the Vancouver Maple leaf lounges so awful . Other than the signature in yvr and yyz the other Canadian maple leaf lounges are dreadful.
Went here for the first time last year and was pleasantly surprised as it was better than I expected. Especially the shower rooms, which were miles nicer than the ones at KLM's lounge at AMS.
In terms of eligibility. MEA also sends their business class passengers to this lounge.
Is this lounge preferred over Senator Lounge in Non-Schengen? Being a Canadian that’s all too familiar with MLL, I’m rather skeptical of all MLL (aside from the YUL intl one which is a special lounge).
Getting a proper Laugenbrezel, definitely is massive plus especially as not something easy to come buy outside of Germany. And no they're not the same as that flavourless doughy rubbish you get in the US!
'I find this to be significantly nicer than the rest areas offered in the Lufthansa lounges, which have no privacy.'
I don't think that there is no privacy in the resting area in the Lufthansa lounges... I mean, they are in a separate darkened room at least. Not really sure how these are much more private than that...
Also, the Lufthansa lounge resting area has actual flat beds with pillows and blankets. I mean, surely that is more suitable for resting than a reclined chair?
I am here now - you can enter with dragonpass reasonably (I'm statusless on *A these days). It was a nice quiet space and the lunch food was good. I think there is a time restriction (as in number of hours) on DP, but I only had an hour anyway. Nice and quiet on a Thursday lunchtime.
Hi There. Do you know if TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege Card holders have complimentary access to this lounge (assuming they are traveling on Air Canada flights)? If yes, does the same condition about bringing one guest apply? (another) If yes, do you know if this is accessible upon arrival to destination airport Frankfurt? Cheers!
Hi there
We had availed Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge on 4 June 2024 and it was a nice customer experience and we would really like to thank all for the excellent service. I would rate 5 ⭐️
This is nothing to do with any service quality but i have bit of allergy on my scalp and trying to figure out what caused it. It could be anything from my entire travel. But would like to know which shampoo and conditioner i have used at the facility so that i can avoid future use if any of the ingredients. Please let me know. Again this is my personal issue that i am trying to figure out and hoping you will help me.
We are flying Air canada to Frankfurt.
Can you pay to enter the Maple Leaf lounge if you are not business class or do not have TD Aeroplan VISA Infinite privilege Card? If yes, what is the cost ?
If you are flying to a Shengen country from a Shengen area of the airport. Can you go into the non Shengen area of the airport, use the lounge and then return to the Shengen area. Any help here would be great
Paul,
No you cannot. In order to access the FRA Maple Leaf Lounge you would have to be on a flight leaving the Schengen zone as this lounge is behind passport control. With *G you'll have access to Lufthansa lounges in the Shenghen section of the airport.
