LHR British Airways -
LHR BA Lounges - Kosher food is available at BA's lounges as follows:
T5/T3 Galleries Club: Bagel/panini and/or soup.
T5/T3 Galleries First: Main course, usually a choice of salmon, chicken stir fry or meat balls (sometimes changed to spaghetti bolognaise).
T5 Concorde Room (CCR): Same as First, but they will also bring soup from the Club lounge if asked, and can also do a plate of plain smoked salmon (with a slice of lemon) on request. Just make sure you stress that you ONLY want the smoked salmon, otherwise they will bring cooked cherry tomatoes or other stuff with it. They will also mix cocktails using Grey Goose vodka instead of the non-kosher Ciroc (Bloody Mary and Cosmopolitan) if asked. The staff in the CCR are very helpful.
Galleries First and the CCR also have a kosher breakfast option: omelette or 'frittata' with stuff which is supposed to make it look like a "full English Breakfast" - meaning it has a couple of rather poor Tivall sausages included. But the rest of the stuff is OK.
The arrivals lounge only carries the kosher breakfast.
Plain salted Kettle chips are kosher. If you want any for the flight ask at the lounge as they only carry two non-kosher flavored version on the aircraft. Also, in the CCR you need to ask at the bar for them in the packet otherwise they will (helpfully) open the bag into a pretty china bowl for you.
To get a kosher meal in the Galleries lounges you need to get one of the servers and ask them to check what kosher meals are available. In the Concorde Room (CCR) you go to the dining area reception desk and ask there, or you can ask at the bar, or indeed ask any of the staff who tend to float around. If you want soup in the CCR they may well tell you that they don't have kosher soups - they are not 100% wrong there because they don't store any of the kosher soup in their kitchen (which is shared with Galleries First). However, if you ask them to check with their supervisor whether they can bring it for you from the Galleries Club lounge they will always manage to arrange it.
LHR El Al contract lounge: BLUSH
LHR Virgin Atlantic ClubHouse, Hermolis meals and kosher wine. Menu here:https://twelve.dynamify.com/store/clubhouse-london/c-627
MAD Priority Pass T4S Neptuno had kosher meals on request (salami sandwiches, pasta salad, cake) with local Hechsher. Also Iberia lounge
MUC KSML available with pre-request to Lufthansa.
SIN Singapore Airlines Private Room (Hermolis). KSML is available here only if requested 4 hours in advance per the waiter.
SYD Qantas First Lounge - available on advance request (Lewis KSML). Call CS and ask to be put through to the F lounge.
TLV Dan Lounges (not mehadrin/heter mechira).
TLV King David Lounge (mehadrin/shmita l'chumra).
YYZ KLM Lounge (terminal 3). Gradzinski Sandwiches are available before LY flights on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.  And in Air Canada Signature lounge (terminal 1) hot kosher meals from Toronto Kosher are available but they need about half an hour to heat them up.

how does ordering food to a airport work ?
once inside you would have to go out and back thru security?
Do you think the Uber driver is going to go through security to meet you?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Hi there,
Anyone out there willing to compile an up to date list of all the lounges offering kosher meals,
I think it'll be really beneficial to the public.
(Maybe the moderators can stick it to the top of the thread)

Can someone update the wiki for those that offer only to those flying ELAL.

Delta Skyclubs officially have, but they were out last time I was there.
Confirming that they are still out of it. Same goes for the Skyclubs in DTW

Barcelona aiport has kosher food in Miro (non-Shengen) lounge. I don't think it's only for El Al.
At the moment choice of beef and rice or chicken or lasagne, I had beef and it was excellent. Under supervision of chabad of barcelona, looks like a home-made meal heated up in over (presumably frozen as it took a while, but it was worth it.)
Beats the food in LY lounge in Heathrow by far.
Excellent lounge also, great drinks, seats + fresh fruit.

Is Kosher food available in the Chase Sapphire lounge in JFK Terminal 4? Nothing in the Wiki.

Also does anyone have updated information on availability and quality of Kosher food in the King David Lounge in JFK? Apparently it is within The Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse

Update:

I found this dated March '25:

https://www.markaroundtheworld.com/post/luxury-with-limitations-my-experience-at-the-virgin-atlantic-clubhouse-lounge-at-jfk-terminal-4-in

One limitation I noticed was related to kosher accommodations. Kosher food is only available if you are flying in Business or First Class. If you're flying in Economy or Premium Economy and happen to gain access through a program like Priority Pass or through elite status, kosher meals are not available, even if you request them in advance. This stands in contrast to other lounges at JFK, such as the Soho Lounge in Terminal 8, which do accommodate kosher meals for anyone who requests them, regardless of their travel class. It's something that Virgin Atlantic should consider addressing, especially given the volume of international travelers using JFK who have dietary restrictions.

Odd. A lot cheaper in CLE and MIA than regular Uber. And the drivers know exactly what they're getting into.

Except Pedro at IAH.

That guy had no idea what on earth was going on.
