at LaGuardia Airport and at Los Angeles International Airport. The
Newark lounge offers customers refreshments, complimentary Wifi, and
work facilities that include complimentary printing capabilities, all in

board their flights directly after leaving the lounge. The new lounge
further strengthens Air Canada’s position as the leading carrier
operating between Canada and the New York City region.
