VIP Club @ TLV
« on: July 12, 2012, 01:47:01 PM »
A few weeks back I was at TLV when I saw a major Gadol walk into the VIP Lounge...I had always wondered what the lounge next to the Shul in the arrival hall was for...

Anyhow, I followed him in along with his entourage and was intrigued by the travel service.

Anyone use them, know the fees and if it's as good as it seems for one who'd be interested in VIP service?

TIA

It's great. The full service is $150 per person.

There are a few different companies that provide it, & all are listed on Ben Gurions website somewhere. I believe LH HON pax get it for free.

Flying First into TLV I wasn't too excited to see that just the HON had someone picking them up.
As far as I know, someone flying First should have the same treatment as HON.

-1, even in FRA, HONs get better treatment than F pax.  Though F pax do get the HON luggage tag :D
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.

Well, they dont have to do it.
They do it on their own good will. So they do it for the best clients, thats a HON and not a guy on a onetime award ticket....
In FRA or MUC they do it for any F client, in TLV Swiss and LH only do it for HON
