No Rabbanut can be Glatt, unless it says so specifically. However, the problems with various hachsherim are much more in terms of the actual supervision, than whether they use this or that type of meat.

Correct. If I am not mistaken it is only for BA passengers so it is more intimate and has fewer people. It also has some nice tarmac views. In terms of food/drink, they offer the same stuff as the other Dan lounges.

Just a quick data point from my DS, who was just there.
Said he went with two friends as guests on his PP. Their total bill was 278. They had a bottle of Cava, a martini, and some fruity looking drink (not sure if they had any food or not -- pic didn't look like it).
He said the waiter made a "formalistic exception" in that the champagne cost 115NIS/bottle and the waiter initially said the limit was 100NIS per person, not 300NIS for the 3 of them. Eventually the waiter relented and my son said they had a fun time.
I asked if he tipped and he said yes, in cash. He didn't tell me how much.

(He also said that he got two other friends into the Dan Lounge and left them there, whilst he went back to Schmoozy with two other friends. To a limited extent, the avid use of the PP soothes the pain of the Amex/Staples clawbacks.)

See attached full schmoozy bar menu. Can't use your 100 shekel for the tip, but paying a couple shekel out of pocket is worth it.

1. It's not cooked or hot.
2. You make sure there are no fresh fruit/vegtables.
3. You make sure all the ingredients have a reliable hechsher.

For a while after pesach, any alchohol can be a problem too.

If they have Rabanut, they sell their Chametz for Pesach.

Been using it often, nice to have 1 kosher PP restaurant.
Note, drinks have a few sizes/prices but now the waiter has no problem to "add another guest" to give 200 shekel credit.

I have found them to be extremely accommodating with PP. It's almost as if thats what keeps the place open.

Yes they were. When a friend and I were there, they told us they wouldn’t mind if we purchased a combined 400 Shekel (100+100 for each of us) and to have it added all in. Didn’t need for each to be under 200.

So my original plan of three friends, each alternating as the primary holder and the guests so that they get a combined 900 shek worth of stuff should work. Apparently a couple that both hold the PP should work as well בצירוף with the waiter.
