Passengers visiting Newark Liberty International Airport can now experience a dose of Canadian hospitality -- not to mention specialty coffees, teas, cold beverages, free Wi-Fi and comfy seats, if only to name a few complementary perks. No, the New Jersey airport isn't getting another Tim Hortons, but rather a new lounge courtesy of Porter Airlines.

The Canadian airline, known for its upscale lounges, officially opened its third lounge on Sunday beside the airline's primary gate in Terminal B in Newark. Prior to Sunday's launch, the airline's other lounges were located only in Canada: one in Toronto's Billy Bishop Airport and the other in Ottawa's Macdonald-Cartier International Airport.

"The Newark lounge is the latest element of our desire to emphasize speed, convenience and service for all of our customers," said Robert Deluce, president and CEO of Porter Airlines. "This is now a distinguishing feature for everyone who flies with us from the Greater New York and New Jersey areas."

  • Toronto's Porter Lounge

    TORONTO, ON - AUGUST 9TH, 2010 - Porter Airlines is a regional airline headquartered at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport on the Toronto Islands in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Pictured: the departures lounge.

The airline has enjoyed a strong summer, with a record-breaking July, including a jump of 19.7 per cent for passengers flying the airline from last year -- the most in a month in the company's six-year history, according to the Timmins Press.

Meanwhile, in August, Porter signed a partnership with Qatar Airways, as reported by Reuters, marking the airline's first venture into international flights. Currently, Porter only flies within Canada and certain US airports, but under the agreement, passengers on Qatar's flights between Doha and Montreal and Washington-Dulles can now connect to Porter flights to Toronto and Halifax, Nova Scotia with only one ticket.

In the midst of large-scale complaints about airlines and customer service, Porter has also enjoyed a high customer satisfaction level, with a 2011 report finding happiness among business travellers the highest for any airline in 20 years. No doubt those free shortbread cookies and computer terminals in the lounge had something to do with it.

And with the airline's success with its expanding business, the Canadian federal government is hoping Porter's complementary lounge pays off for Canada in the long run.

"Entrepreneurs are the key to creating jobs and growth for the Canadian economy," said Minister of State (Small Business and Tourism) Maxime Bernier. "The opening of Porter Airlines' Newark lounge makes a great first impression on travellers coming to Canada and helps strengthen our ties with our American neighbours through improved business and leisure travel."

  • Virgin Atlantic JFK Clubhouse, John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York

    The feeling that half of Manhattan has joined you at your gate at JFK is over. This March, Virgin Atlantic premiered its new Clubhouse with an Austin Powers–meets–uptown mod cocktail lounge at its heart, complete with a red leather sofa and purple lighting. But it’s the Clubhouse Spa, featuring Dr. Hauschka products and treatments, that really makes the JFK Clubhouse a standout layover option. In the end, just like the $17 million flagship at Heathrow airport, this lounge offers everything you need (massages, facials, foot treatments), everything you didn’t know you needed (a Bumble and Bumble salon) and several things that you don’t really need at all but are certainly nice to have (anyone for a game of pool?). <em>Beyond TSA checkpoint in A Concourse, above boarding gates A4 and A5; <a href="http://virgin-atlantic.com" target="_hplink">virgin-atlantic.com</a></em>.

  • British Airways Concorde Room, Heathrow Airport

    The decidedly unfashionable herringbone print, velvets and crystal chandeliers of the Concorde Room at Heathrow recall a well-to-do British gentleman’s study in all its relaxed, un-modern glory. Quite simply, this is a retreat—albeit one with full waiter service, complimentary wines and Champagne and private, hotel-style cabanas with day beds and en-suite bathrooms. If retreating isn’t your habit, book a theater ticket with the concierge and head to the terrace for a drink from the fabulous Concorde Bar and views of the runway. <em>Terminal 5; <a href="http://britishairways.com" target="_hplink">britishairways.com</a></em>.

  • Finnair Lounge, Helsinki Airport

    From felt walls that swallow outside noise to Marimekko tableware to the wireless, mobile phone–charging system PowerKiss (wireless!), the simplicity and thoughtfulness of the Finnair Lounge makes it exceptional. A buffet is always on, and in addition to the views, the elegant Finnish and Nordic furniture designs provide their own easy pleasure. For those on the way to Asia, the midnight buffet is particularly elaborate. Travelers in need of a spa will need to have patience—the Finnair Spa (complete with traditional Finnish saunas) will reopen this winter, but in the meantime there are showers at the lounge. <em>Terminal T2 between Gates 36 and 37; <a href="http://finnair.com" target="_hplink">finnair.com</a></em>.

  • The Pier, Hong Kong International Airport

    The seasoned traveler will be forgiven for any long-standing preconceptions about eating (or, sadly, not eating) in airports. Thankfully, not far from Gate 62 at Hong Kong International, those expectations will be overturned. At The Pier—Cathay Pacific’s glass-enclosed first- and business-class break area—you’ll find freshly made Japanese noodles at the Noodle Bar and proper fine dining and modern decor at the first-class Haven restaurant. (There are also two more fully stocked café/bars.) In addition to the business centers, the WiFi, the leather armchairs and the pebbled showers, a glass of Champagne also goes a long way to ease travel stress. <em>Gates 62–66, Northwest Concourse; <a href="http://cathaypacific.com" target="_hplink">cathaypacific.com</a></em>.

  • Qantas First Lounge, Sydney Airport

    Modernity, with polished surfaces, clear glass and stainless steel, is the norm of airport luxury today, give or take a Dutch modern knock-off table or two and a leather armchair. Which is why we’re thrilled with the 98-foot, 8,400-plant vertical garden that greets passengers at the Qantas First Lounge at Sydney Airport. It leaves the air in the atrium feeling cleaner and lighter. Better yet, part of the garden is incorporated into each of the Payot Paris day spa treatment rooms, so you can forget, for the moment, that you’re in transit. The upper floor of the lounge, designed by Marc Newson and replete with recliners and sofas (in addition to those leather armchairs), also includes an open kitchen restaurant serving food by Australian chef Neil Perry. <em>International Terminal; <a href="http://qantas.com.au" target="_hplink">qantas.com.au</a></em>.

  • Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounges, Singapore Changi International Airport

    At Singapore Changi International, as throngs of travelers roll handcarts piled high with suitcases to overflowing check-in lines, Passenger Relations Officers greet first-class passengers of Singapore Airlines curbside, taking their bags, guiding them to an armchair in the first-class check-in lounge and checking them in personally. Next it’s off to the first-class SilverKris Lounges, where, depending on their mood, guests can choose from meeting rooms, café/bars or 13 Italian-leather slumberettes. Don’t worry—the staff will wake you before your flight. Terminal 2 on Level 3 (North Wing); <em>Terminal 3 on Level 3; <a href="http://singaporeair.com" target="_hplink">singaporeair.com</a></em>.
