Visa Infinite Privilege Priority Benefits at Canadian Airports

Visa Infinite Privilege cards are the crème de la crème of Visa credit cards in Canada, and they tend to command a hefty annual fee, typically in the region of $499—599 (CAD) – or two to three times more than a regular Visa Infinite card.

As a result, Visa Infinite Privilege cards include a suite of exclusive perks that differentiate them from lower-tier cards, including priority privileges at three of Canada’s major airports: Toronto Billy Bishop (YTZ), Montreal (YUL), and Ottawa (YOW).

Let’s take a look at these perks in detail below.

Visa Infinite Privilege Priority Security at Canadian Airports

Arguably the most useful among the airport benefits for Visa Infinite Privilege cardholders is priority security at select airports. You’ll get to access a dedicated security line along with premium cabin passengers.

This is especially useful for passengers travelling in economy class and without NEXUS cards, who would otherwise have no priority security privileges.

This privilege is available at the following airports:

It’s worth noting that the perks used to be available at Vancouver International Airport (YVR), too; however, they were discontinued as of August 30, 2025, and there doesn’t appear to be a replacement just yet.

Simply flash your card to access the priority/fast-track security lines to the attendant, and you’ll be prioritized for security clearance.

Note, however, that as per the terms and conditions, only the cardholder is entitled for priority security. In practice, sometimes the security agents are happy to wave through accompanying passengers of Visa Infinite Privilege cardholders, though this isn’t always guaranteed.

If you’re flying to the US from one of the eligible airports, you can use this service to breeze through security, and then in turn use Mobile Passport Control to get you through US pre-clearance faster.

Visa Infinite Privilege Parking Benefits

Aside from priority security, Visa Infinite Privilege cardholders get parking and valet benefits at the airports in Montreal and Ottawa.

Over at Montreal–Trudeau International Airport, you can get a 10% discount at ValetParc. You must use your Visa Infinite Privilege card to pay, and the discount will be taken off your bill at point-of-sale.

The airport’s valet parking rate is $50 (CAD) per day, with no weekly rate available.

Lastly, at Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport, you can park at one of the dedicated spots at P3 of the Parkade. The dedicated spots are also those closest to the terminal, operating on a first-come-first-served basis.

Plus, you can get a 20% discount when parking at the Parkade. When paying at the Impark Office on the ground level of the Parkade, be sure to pay with your Visa Infinite Privilege card to get your discount.

Parkade rates are $5 (CAD) for every 30 minutes, up to a reasonable 24-hour rate of $24 (CAD). The Parkade is located a two-minute walk away from the terminal.
