So I recently flew out of Israel to Greece on Arkia and was not allowed to enter the Dan Lounge with my United Club membership. The attendant said that the United Club membership will only grant access if you are actually flying on United.

is arkia star alliance? i had the same issue when i flew to greece with el al/sundor

where in greece u go?

Just wanted to update, that I was able to access the Dan Lounge by showing my United Club Membership Card. I was allowed to bring my wife and toddler into the lounge no problem (and most people didn't give me evil looks like they did in the United lounge in Newark).

I asked this in a different thread but thought maybe here is more of an appropriate place to ask it...hoping it will be answered here.  (please dont yell at me for cross-posting  :-[)

the people at DAN in TLV , dont check your names when u present priority pass, we had the same expirience at LHR.

Does anyone have any recent experience with this?  Does the Dan lounge check names on the PP?

Do they swipe the PP in the Dan lounge?  (Because the Plat that was linked to it was cancelled)
