Air Canada has opened its brand-new Maple Leaf Lounge at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). It is the airline’s 28th lounge worldwide, and its third Maple Leaf Lounge in the United States.
Located in SFO’s Terminal 2, the 165-seat, 8,168-square-foot lounge features a range of premium food, beverages and amenities as well as the airline’s first outdoor terrace.
“We’re thrilled to bring our Maple Leaf Lounge experience to San Francisco International Airport, giving our Bay Area customers a way to enjoy Air Canada’s award-winning product and glowing hearted hospitality from the moment they arrive,” said Jacqueline Harkness, managing director, Products and Services at Air Canada. “It’s one more way we’re investing to become San Francisco’s favorite way to travel internationally.”
The new Maple Leaf Lounge at SFO pays homage to its California location both through its design and decor, and the food and beverage selections presented, which highlight local makers and flavors. Unique seafood offerings, including the iconic San Francisco fish stew cioppino, will be on offer alongside a selection of California wines, and beer from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company and Anchor Brewing—America’s first craft beer.
