RateBuddy Verdict
The Good
- Includes unlimited access to Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounges and Air Canada Cafés in North America for you and a guest.
- The Annual Worldwide Companion Pass (earned after $25k spend) can save thousands on a second flight ticket.
- Saves significant money with a free first checked bag for you and up to 8 companions traveling on the same reservation.
The Trade-offs
- Carries a very high $599 annual fee, which may not be worth it if you do not fly Air Canada frequently.
- While it offers Priority Pass membership, you still have to pay usage fees for each lounge visit.
