Quebec City Airport Best Lounge
Yes, it is the best lounge I have ever been to. Period. The lounge didn’t feel at all like a lounge, it felt like a small and elegant restaurant.
And as a matter of fact for a second year in a row, the Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) has been voted Best Airport in North America in the 0-2 million passenger category according to Airport Service Quality (ASQ), a world-wide survey lead by Airports Council International (ACI).
I was surprised that I was asked for my boarding pass only at the security gate but not at the line itself. This was a first for me. You show it at the security gate then again at the line and for me it seemed standard procedure, I didn’t know it was possible to show it only once. So I suppose this and the quality of the lounge contributed to the award, I didn’t get a chance to wander around not that I had this desire since I had access to the lounge.
The board doesn’t say anything about the category so initially I thought it had been voted best airport in North America.
but the plaque for 2010 mentioned the category. Anyway, I suppose the oversight is understandable in the excitement.
Perrier water and many import beer
The wine is kept in a horizontal position like in a cellar, nice touch!
What kind of washroom is this?
And the fireplace:
Looks like a nice lounge! Is this AC’s lounge?
Yes, it is Air Canada lounge.
In fact, YQB lounge is managed by Quebec City Airport authority, not by Air Canada. More details here: http://www.aeroportdequebec.com/en/at-the-airport/vip-lounge/
Actually it is not a AC lounge, it’s the airport’s own lounge !
This explains the difference :).
I just assumed it was AC. Thank you Emy and Matt for the correction.
