Quote
5.Hospitality and light refreshments in the King David Lounges at Ben-Gurion Airport (Tel Aviv), JFK (New York), CDG (Paris), Heathrow (London).

6.At airports that don't have EL AL hospitality lounges, you may enjoy the hospitality of the local airport lounges before your EL AL flight, in coordination with EL AL representatives on the spot

They usually give a voucher for non-Elal lounges.

You can sign up to the king david club for $300. I think a current member can sign you up for half price.

Are you flying UA?

If you have PP from the plat, you can enter the Dan lounge.

No, I have an early flight on ElAl to CDG, I wanted to eat out in Tel Aviv, spend some time in the city, then check in early and chill in the lounge for a bit.

It is my understanding that I can enter the Dan lounge with the Lounge Club Card, is that correct? Also what about the United MileagePlus Club Card (I am not flying United)?

Are you still able to purchase a guest pass for $29 for the King David Lounge in TLV. Flying LY tonight and I would live to grab a shower before the flight. ;)

dan lounge is pretty "knap" though their is mezonos  with belz hashgocho line to use the computers need to get a code from desk and is pretty noisy and hard to find a seat is pretty full i guess the king david lounge  is nicer,quieter and offers more amenities

bump

I didn't see anything on their website, so I'm also wondering.

Alternatively, how much do the smaller lounges charge for a visit?
