Yes, they swipe.
The last 2 times I was there, they photocopied.

When flying UA biz, will they give you a coupon, or is it a YMMV

My hotel is giving me access to the King David Lounge(hoping two passes) but it says no under 18. Do you think an infant would be allowed in or we have to go in one at a time?

if it's the airline allowing you access to the lounge, they will usually give you a coupon/invitation at check in. If it's a cc, pp, etc the lounge usually make a photocopy IME

Just returned on 1/27. I had 2 LC from IB. I had 1 card and one was on order but I had the # written down.  They just wrote # down and I signed for both and got myself and 16 year old son in. My husband could not get in. I should have gotten him AU on my IB to get him his own LC.

When I went in it was PACKED. Almost wasn't worth walking all the way there to go in.

From the very few seats that were open I'd say I can maybe count on one hand the amount of frum Jews in there.

+1, I think Dan's post is getting the people over excited about entering the lounge. Guys it's a waste of time, small and claustrophobic, I used to go in for the drinks, but now I just pay 8 shekel outside.

I went in before seeing Dans post about entering.  Maybe when empty its ok but when I went in I was surprised with the amount of people in there.  And if you have a stroller...definitely stay out...you wont be able to move.
