I’ve been checked every single time, though not very thoroughly.
Was there a few weeks ago. After Dan lounge I stopped by Shmoozys for some drinks to go. Didn't realize the liquids ban. They took away everything by the gate, 200ILS worth! If the TLV cleaning crew was high that day, that's why.

The gate agent was apologetic and mentioned there was someone from TSA that day so.....

Dan in E was open today, but for business class pax only. Looks much nicer than the regular Dan lounges

Any review or pictures from the E lounge? Going to be flying out of TLV in a few weeks.

Why the **** would you admit to having liquids?

Didn't get in, my upgrade only cleared after

Well it would be pretty difficult NOT to look better than the other Dan lounges ...

I believe it was already open when I flew back in March. But I believe they don't accept PP. IIRC, they said it's for UA pax flying business. (I'm guessing that would mean any *A). Wonder if elites are included in that. Def looked much nicer than the other ones, although I wasn't allowed in.

been open for quite sometime and UA Polaris pax can enter. *A wont get you to that lounge
It's much smaller and less crowded so feels a bit better
But not really much of a difference

Surprised it’s not on the LoungeBuddy app, if it’s been open for a few months already.

Was not open when we flew UA 91 J in May.
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.

Ummm they check your carry on. 10 bottles is a little difficult to hide.

Interesting. I definitely saw it open once, and I haven't been in Natbag since May. It's right next to Chabad IINM?

+1. Unless E is a different lounge?

In regards to fluids, they once asked me if I have fluids, I said "yes", and pulled out 1 of the 6 cokes in my bag, and handed it over. Worked just perfectly. They didn't bother checking my bags after that.

Yes, next to Chabad (in the small alcove to the right immediately after entering the main concourse).

Now that’s an idea!

I was there in mid-May. The furniture there looks like it was purchased at a Soviet era thrift shop in the sale section. Food and drink were pretty much the same as the other lounges IIRC.

Why not? I’ve only heard of revocations at CBP, not TSA.

Yup, done this many times.
Used to also work sometimes on TSA.
