Plan recovery

Lounge and wellness data available

Best current lounge for recovery: Unfortunately, YEG has no lounges with shower, spa, or sleep pod amenities. Passengers managing jetlag should focus on securing adequate rest time before arrival or plan a hotel near the airport for extended layovers. Consider exploring Edmonton's downtown area (20 minutes by transit) for a quick refresh during medium layovers..
