In some other forums, they have one specific thread where people post when they're going to be in a lounge and are willing to bring in a guest.
They use the following format:
AIRPORT / DATE / TIMEFRAME
For us likely no need for AIRPORT unless it is possible to bring guests to lounges abroad.
Should we do this? If so, perhaps we can "Sticky" it?

I don't see any reason why we can't do this but it will require a SuperMod to make it into a sticky. I'll send a PM to one asking him to do it.

May 6, 06, 6:46 pm
Canarsie, our local, friendly, SuperModerator, was good enough to make this a sticky. I will now make our first official request.
I will be in TLV Departures tomorrow (May 8) for a 07:40 flight to MXP. Any King David members who are hanging around at that time are more then welcome to invite me into the club.

Truth is I was just thinking purely of how mad the KD lounge gets sometimes especially at peak times like after Pesach or Succoth, when everyone are returning home from their Israel holiday, you often literally cannot find a seat to rest on.
Many of the travelers have KD membership (regardless of their status in the Matmid club) and manage to get away with taking their whole families in with them.
Some of the lounges abroad in particular the lounge at LHR, can get way over crowded as well.
On second thoughts though, there are not that many FT members here belonging to the Matmid club or that travel in out of Israel, so would don’t really make much difference if here and there someone took a fellow FT member into the lounge with them.
I take my comments back, and would be glad to contribute to the calendar, if it does happen.

There is a simple solution to Lounge entry at TLV for Israeli based travellers.
All credit card companies have certain cards which give free access to the Dan Lounges (which BTW, I think is better than KD) and do not cost more than the regular card. You should check with your bank to see if you qualify and change your card
As I also have access to KD I'll check the sticky to see if there are any request on the days of my flights
Dovster
May 9, 06, 6:35 am
For those who don't have those credit cards, entry to the Dan Lounge costs 100 shekels. As this gives you internet access, all the soft drinks you can down, and a decent choice of snacks, it is not a bad deal at all.

After landing into TLV is it possible, maybe by going through the "Transit Passengers" area, to access the departures level and hence the lounge?
I'm getting in mid-AM and have meetings in the area. I'd really like to use the showers in the taklin.
Is this do-able?
Dovster
May 17, 06, 11:46 am
I don't know if the rules changed with the opening of the new terminal, but I do know that in the old one if you were in the departures area you were not allowed out (except by getting on a plane).
I found this out when there was a wildcat strike several years ago and suddenly my flight was delayed by 12 hours. I wanted to get out of the terminal and go into Tel Aviv and was refused.
If the rules are still the same, if you got into the Lounge you wouldn't be able to get into Tel Aviv afterwards.

You must have a pre-arranged invitation to go into the the depature area without a boarding pass. I'm not sure if ElAl can fix you such an invitation (I believe they won't).

I hate to be the negative one but, I now understand why the lounge is sometimes more crowded than the regular one. As everyone takes in someone, as people pay their 100NIS to stuff themselves silly--instead of the lounge being a place to relax before the flight, it has turned into a three ring circus. I guess I am a snob--I like my quiet. There is a reason I pay more to fly business. ( and I am not a frequent enough frequent flyer to do it all on points or last minute upgrades--I actually PAY)

Dan, first off, welcome to Flyer Talk and to the El Al Forum.
The information you have is, unfortunately, not quite accurate.
If you have accumulated 1000 Matmid points or more during the previous 12 months, you can join the King David Club for $300 a year.
If a Gold or Platinum member wants to sponsor you, and has not done so for another person, you will pay $150 -- but only if you have the 1000 Matmid points during the past year.
If you haven't earned those points, a Gold or Platinum member can still sponsor you, but you will have to pay the full $300.
You can find all the details by clicking on this link. (http://www.elal.co.il/ELAL/English/MatmidFrequentFlyer/AboutTheClub/KingDavidClub.htm)

Thank you Dovster for the welcoming message and the answer
Ok I get it and actually I would have another question: If I don't fly EL Al and I am a KDC member, can I still access the lounges.
In that case would be quite interesting and I would say the 300USD are really worth the money;)
and in that case...
Are there any Gold or Platinum members who'd like to sponsor me?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Dan

Dan,
I can't answer that question for you but I would like to point out that in addition to the King David Lounge, there is the Dan Lounge. That would cost you 100 shekels per visit, so it would take about 12 trips before you would have paid the $300.
If you are flying in Biz Class with any airline other than El Al, the Dan Lounge is free. If you are flying Biz or FC with El Al, you can get into the King David Lounge.

Dec 15, 08, 9:33 am
Thank you Dovster,
I was on the phone with ELAL and the KDC seems to give me access to many lounges especially If I fly AA (wich is actually the case)
SO, I will go for it If I find a sponsor;)

Apologies that this isn't technically an LY question, but I know this is going to be the right place to ask...
Does a business/first class ticket on "any" airline (CO?) get one access to the Lounge? And if so, can that person bring a guest in?
Are there any credit cards or other methods for getting into the Lounge?
Thanks much.

Each airline uses a different lounge and has different rules, if you're asking abour Continental, they use the Dan lounge at TLV
There are many credit companies which give lounge access to their gold cards Etc.

Will be at the KDL on Sunday 21st at about 3.30pm with a friend, we both have +1 privileges if anyone needs them, and will each have a spare Dan Lounge pass we are not using - not sure how transferable they are, though they never seem to write names on them properly. We're on BA164 at 4.50pm.

I don't get it.
joshwex90 asked about going in on a Febuary 9th which is a Wednsday not a Friday.
And he wouldn’t be at the airport on a Friday night anyway (but you would not necessarily know that...).

I think based on my posting history, it'd be safe to say that he would indeed know that ;)

Count me as someone that would never have picked up on that. It just isn't on my radar.

Alternatively....Shabbas Sojourn Shabbaton in Ben Gurion? :D
I could just see the billing for this - 'Spend Shabbos in a Luxury 5***** accomodation. Food, wine, and an expansive view over Ben Gurion Airport'...
