Was going to post it here when I saw the headline, but when I read the details and found out that it's all about marketing follow on flights to their BKK route, I decided to pass.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Question:
We will be flying on Iberia ex-TLV at 0530 mid-week, a few days after Pesach. How early will we be able to check in and get past security to the Lounge and Schmoozy Bar? The Bar and one of the Dan lounges indicate they are open 24h.

Could we possibly check in as early as 11:30pm or MN?

TIA

with luggage you will have to wait for Iberia to open their check in desks at most likely 3 hours before the flight

Thank you. That's what I was afraid of. It is consistent with what the IAA website says -- "Iberia opens for check in 3h prior."

Nice new route! TAP often has very good economy and business class fares, which can work one way too. They also offer a free stopover in Lisbon option.

Lisbon – Tel Aviv eff 31MAR19 1 daily A321 (Previously served from October 1993 to April 1997)
TP1603 LIS1420 – 2130TLV 321 D
TP1604 TLV0505 – 0900LIS 321 D

TAP J class  JFK-TLV $1465, TLV-JFK $1315. Good option, but a pretty poor product considering the long LIS-TLV flight

Refundable with a $150 charge is great.


Real J?

A330. Decent lounge nothing special. Also the lounge is only in the Schengen area so you need to leave yourself time for customs after.
