Where we'd actually go.
Dan Lounge B
Dan Lounge B in Concourse B is the most accessible lounge at TLV — it's the only one open on DragonPass and Priority Pass, so you don't need an EL AL ticket to get in. It sits airside after passport control with seating, a buffet, a bar and sleep rooms.
EL AL King David First Class Lounge
The EL AL King David First Class Lounge in Concourse D is the airport's flagship branded space, reserved for EL AL First and premium-cabin passengers. It serves a fuller spread than the contract lounge, with soups and finger food alongside the bar.
EL AL King David Business Class Lounge
The EL AL King David Business Class Lounge serves EL AL Business passengers with a mix of comfortable armchairs and restaurant-style tables. It's the natural choice if you're flying EL AL business class out of Tel Aviv.
Dan Lounge
The newest Dan Lounge, in Concourse E, opens only at peak hours and admits airline-invited passengers exclusively. You can't book or buy your way in, but it's worth knowing about if your carrier extends an invitation.

DragonPass also opens the Dan Lounge in Concourse B. If you hold DragonPass or Priority Pass, this is your route in at Tel Aviv without an EL AL premium ticket.

A First or Business Class ticket on EL AL gets you into the airline's King David lounges in Concourse D — First and Business passengers each have their own space. This is the simplest route if you're flying EL AL premium out of Tel Aviv.
Airline invitation
The newest Dan Lounge, in Concourse E, admits airline-invited passengers only and opens at peak hours. There's no membership or pay-in route — access depends on your carrier extending an invitation.
