BA have been allocated a separate new lounge in TLV, still operated by the Dan group.
Can one still use the old lounge?

Cant say on this one, but between B and C I never had a problem.

That's because this lounge is specifically for British Airways passengers
Hence that's why there is some booze there

Dan+ Lounge. Considerably more quiet and less crowded than the regular dan lounges.

How'd you gain access?

Seems that UA BusinessFirst gets access. There is a big sign in it that says we welcome united BusinessFirst passengers.

Sounds too good to be true.

BA lounge in JFK doesn't let in anybody except those who fly BA first.

chucksterace · « **Reply #12 on:** October 29, 2013, 05:30:07 AM »

I dont think club pass will work here as it is not a United Club, it just caters to a more quiet atmosphere and is given to BF passengers. I think *Gold still only get Dan regular lounge but I can be wrong.

The lounge has nothing more to do with BA than with UA apparently.

Had a fun night tonight exploring the Dan+ lounge. I used my temporary United club card (haven't gotten my official one since my application for the Chase United Club Card). There are contracted agents but also 2 UA agents who were more aware, they handed me a written pass and wrote Dan+ on top

. Was no problem to enter the lounge. Its nicer and quieter. They close however when there are no more United flights (IDK about British Airways, I didn't see any signs for their members- I wonder why). Instead of waiting for them to call ahead I just showed the Dan regular lounge ladies the picture. Its a lot noisier in here now.

The Liquor selection in the Dan + is nothing special, but I wonder if I can order some to the regular Dan lounge.

I will try to upload a picture when my internet works

I thought the Dan Lounge was Dan's living room in Cleveland

Dan · « **Reply #16 on:** January 22, 2014, 09:01:37 PM »

Dan's lounge in CLE has way better food and drinks than that embarrassment in TLV.
Tonight featured sushi and desert from shallots, sandwiches from Milt's and chocolates from Illinois nut.

Wow. This belongs in the thread of things that Dan will answer to

I see JJ did good?

Better than good.
Even found out about an off-the-menu item from Milt's that was awesome!
