Tried to go into Turkish Lounge at MIA. It was busy but not crazy. The front desk turned us away and said they were not accepting Priority Pass at that time only Statuses. Seemed very odd to me as if they were at capacity don’t the terms require turning everyone away? It felt discriminatory. Has anyone ever been treated the same either at Turkish lounge or in general turned away because of priority pass? Worth complaining to Chase about (I have access through Sapphire Reserve)?
In the beginning of January, a couple of days after New Years, they were only accepting business class when the lounge was crowded.

I saw they use planters peanuts (which usually have an OU.)(I’m sure one would have to check each time they go to make sure they are using kosher peanuts) the pretzels are in a generic bag, so I couldn’t tell if they were kosher. I’ll have to ask next time.

Anybody else know if anything is kosher in the Turkish lounge?

not all planters have OU. I believe the dry roasted are not certified due to gelatin

Was just there again today. You are right. The planters peanuts only had a “K”.

One of the employees showed me that the chocolate chip cookies were grandma’s, with an OU packaging.
I didn’t ask to find out about the pretzels in the generic clear bag.
Maybe next time

When did Priority Pass drop the Dan lounges in Tel Aviv? I just tried to go in and was told they don't accept it. Looked on the app and online and Tel Aviv is no longer there. It's not a very good lounge but it was better than nothing.

You have Virgin Clubhouse and BA Lounge both in central concourse (B50 series).

Maybe this will clear out the lounge and upgrade the ambiance ;)

Just a PSA to whoever relevant that the Israeli Amex Plat still has unlimited access to Dan Lounge.  The card has been improved recently, starting to really offer more value, all things considered and in the context of the Israeli CC market.
