If you have global entry your fingerprints are already in a database.
Hopefully a government database is more secure. But could be that's just wishful thinking.

1. I wouldn't willing put my fingerprint on a  data base
2. You just wanted thru security, and you have to board your plane soon. Why would your boarding pass not be easily accessible?

Actually, getting my boarding pass (either paper or loading from my smartphone) can be annoying, especially if you're carrying your carryon, a briefcase, and a shopping bag with your BYOK.

The terminals are a 10 minute drive from each other
I know but the lounge is past security at T3. Will they let me in there when my departure is from T1?

I arrive in TLV at 6:55am on LY J. Is there a way that I can stop off at the King David lounge for a shower and a bite if I have checked bags that will be at baggage claim?

For those who are traveling thru DFW. The pp lounges that are in terminal D are very easily reachable after security from any terminal with the skytrain.

If you were offered Priority Pass Select, and, additionally, the opportunity to purchase a membership in any lounge program (first $500 free), which lounge would you choose and why?

That depends on many variables. Which airports and airlines do you frequently go through?

United. You can get a membership in AA by splitting a credit card with someone.

I happen to be going next week to DFW. I have AA access...is there a PP lounge that’s better? I see there is The Club. Also see they have a Centurion. Guess I will need to plan a whole day at the airport.

Art &lounge in EWR reception gave me issues when checking in. He started off that lounge us filled to capacity so I'll have to return later, and that was for all with PP. Then He opened doors for PP members, he asked me for boarding pass, and I didn't have 1 yet, so I told him that AFAIK no boarding pass is needed to enter this lounge, agent wasn't sure, so he took the chance and lied that NEW RULE requires BP, so I lied back that just did this a few weeks ago. So he says oh it changed like 2 3 weeks ago... the lying face was so obvious.. Ok so I said lemme call PP and ask them.. took out my phone and started paying around.... He calls me back and asks for ID and let's me enter... I was about to ask him straight up, so you actually lied to me before?... just couldn't take the courage

First of all that lounge specifically says they may deny entry to PP members if it's full.
I've had a struggle like that before, they are just uninformed about the rules. If you politely inform them they are usually OK.

+1
I've been to this lounge plenty of times (50+) and the one time I had an issue was because ELAl had a delay and lounge was packed they told me I had to have LY BP. I politely disagreed and asked them to call their surperviser and within minutes I was in.

when flying Polaris, you get access to a different Dan lounge located near the King David, mentioned here upthread.

Also, is it possible to buy a pass to the King David lounge?
