EL AL King David First Class Lounge
★4.2(2,725 reviews)TLV
EL AL's flagship First Class lounge in Concourse D, opposite gate D1.
The EL AL King David First Class Lounge is the national carrier's flagship space at Tel Aviv Ben Gurion, in Concourse D of Terminal 3, opposite gate D1. It's reserved for EL AL passengers departing in First and premium cabins, and serves as the airline's top-tier oasis before a flight out of Tel Aviv. Compared with the airport's independent contract lounge, the King David First Class Lounge offers a more generous spread — complimentary snacks, soups and finger food alongside a bar with house wine, beer and spirits. It's a calm, branded environment designed for premium travellers to relax before long-haul departures, and it's the most consistent airline-lounge experience at TLV. Access follows your EL AL ticket and cabin rather than a lounge membership.
