some airlines now limit cc to $200, some require id etc over $200, and some have instant connection to get approval.
But it was not not too long ago, the days that bochurim used to wall off planes with hand luggage weighing heavier than their suitcases...
its not worth it, my friend was arrested when he landed in NY after doing it with Swiss

Not sure if this has been asked or not but can I access the Dan lounge with a united club pass while flying united.
if my qualifying flight for *G is my flight to Israel can I somehow get into the Dan lounge with that by somehow printing a card of my status from online? TIA.

Does the loungepass that comes with ink card get you in here?

I just came accross this on the ויזה כאל website:
They have a Diners branded card called High Miles that offers free entry to the dan lounge as one of the (only) perks.

Was in the Dan lounge for the first time.  Extremely overrated. Was a drop bigger than airspace lounge in CLE. Dan lounge was also very crowded
Always use an Amex, you'll thank me one day.

Not overrated at all as nobody has ever rated it well.
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.

Anyone know if the LC pass can be used for someone other than the person in whose name it's written in?

I got in by swiping my Angel Airport (Citi Prestige) card.
Airlines sending me "We're in this together" emails.

Bruh, where were you when my suitcase weighed it 51.50 pounds?
