Dan Lounge is the ONLY lounge at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv regardless of carrier! The lounge is
always packed and with Israeli backpackers and whole extended families that are clearly not
traveling in First or Business Class! I think they have some kind of deal with a credit card
company or something which allows easy access to the airports ONLY lounge. It only has two toilet
cubicles that are unisex and one was out of order so men, women and children all had to line up to
use the one cubicle! The cold food and beverage table seemed more like a school lunch line with
children and youth grabbing things and small children playing with the espresso machine. Last but
not least, airport staff and airline maintenance and ground crew come through to grab food and
drinks laid out for the passengers. I witnessed an aircraft maintenance guy come through a back door
and with his clearly dirty fingers and overalls, finger several pieces of cake till he found one in
the middle he liked, stuffed it in his mouth leaving the others aside and walked out the same way he
came in! Ben Gurion need to open several lounges to meet the need of its passengers and levels and
status. Truly the worst airport lounge I've been in. Really disappointing since the new terminal 3
is so nice!
