Was at the Dan lounge last night, can confirm what Dan wrote. Was more comfortable at the gate.

That is often the case, with one caveat: almost no outlets available in gate area, and the few that are available aren't next to seats, it's like the airport is stuck in the early 90's. Dan lounge definitely has more outlets available, but also not that great, and the overall experience is quite miserable.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Hi,
I was told that Dan Lounge might not be open during these war times. Can someone confirm if it is open or closed?

Also, what are the advantages of Dan Lounge Access ? Is there a link on dansforums explain what there is in the lounge and what kosher foods/drinks are served? thanks

I was there beginning of November. Only one of them is open (I dont remember which one.) The coke is coke and the carlsberg is carlsberg. The Dairy products like yogurt had Tnuva Mehadrin. I didnt ask about the crackers but they looked like the regular Osem Badatz crackers. You can ask in the kitchen to see the boxes.

It doesn't need to be majorly special. More comfortable seating, free drinks and maybe some of the food, cleaner bathroom. That's it
