Can my son who is under 18 traveling solo get into the lounge? He has a Priority Pass card to his own name.

I am asking because they didn't let him into the Delta lounge at JFK when he was on his way to TLV. We were told no unaccompanied minors. They didn't let me in with my Platinum card because I was not the one flying, and didn't let him in becasue I couldn't accompany him inside. But that was Delta  ::) and this is about the lounge at Ben Gurion

I've gone in myself under 18 but it'll probably depend how old he is/looks...

my son, 14 had priority pass with my name on it. This was in 2013
they let him in with no hassles... (I had to stay at the gate with twin 2 year olds)
and he spent 5 minutes, got 2 sodas and left.

That is reassuring. Thank you. I told him to stay away from the Johnnie Walker ;)

No need, there's no hard liquor in the Dan Lounge.

there was last year, it was kept behind the front desk, so you don't have direct access to it...

I have a Loungeclub card from a INK bold I got 2-3 years ago - expired in July 14 but the loungeclub account should still be active - will this work for the Dan lounge?

And priority pass from a cancelled Amex Platinum is no good right-I think I recall it will charge me for it?

1) well maybe there's a chance considering the account should still be active- just never got an updated card - or do you only get a limited subscription when you first sign up...
2) yeah guessed that

Only that very specific "MasterCard" that is issued by Isracard.

Cards like the israeli "AMEX" people & computers gold card still get you in for free unlimited.

Got some lounge club passes before they stopped giving for Ink, they should work in Dan Lounge, so can each one be swiped twice at no charge for two people?
