About TLV

Ben Gurion Airport, near Lod and run by the Israel Airports Authority, is Israel's main international airport and the home base of EL AL. Most international departures use Terminal 3 (T3), where passport control and security lead into the duty-free hall and the lettered concourses, including B and C. The lounge picture changed at the end of 2025: the two Dan lounges, which were the options for lounge-membership holders, were reported closed on 31 December 2025, and as of October 2026 DragonPass no longer offers them. That leaves EL AL's King David lounges as the confirmed names on our list, with any replacement lounges still to be verified by us.

How we compile this guide

Sourced, never sponsored.

This guide is compiled from airline, alliance and lounge-operator sources plus published access rules from Priority Pass and DragonPass — we haven't independently visited every Ben Gurion International Airport lounge yet. Nothing here is a paid placement, and the guide is updated as lounges open, close, renovate or change access policies. Read more about how we verify lounge data.
