Does El Al (LY) sell single use lounge passes?
I want to use it at JFK terminal 4.

Also, how does their lounge compare to the other lounges @ terminal 4 sshown at http://jfkiat.com/loungemap.html?

EL-AL does not send lounge access other terminals beside TLV one...
But if you will ask nice enough at the business check-in counter, they might find a solution.

I never was on the others, But the EL-AL one is ok... a bit crowded...

...I doubt it, not if the OP had no status with LY and is not travelling Business class (well, otherwise he wouldn’t need the pass...)

I don't think LY sell lounge passes anywhere, and they certainly don't for their own KD lounges.

Yes they do. I bought some at LHR and CDG.

I've used the Swiss / Star Alliance lounge at terminal 4. It's quite nice and with proper food - limited if you eat kosher. What I liked in particular were the massage chairs in a separate quiet zone room. Also, the shower was quite good.

LY's lounge is also reasonable but does indeed get very busy as ebzed said. Food is okay (and best choice for kosher keepers) and there is a shower too which is workable.

No idea as to whether or not LY sell entrance to the lounge but if you say on here when you're flying someone may take you in as a guest.

As a GL, PL, or TPL you can indeed buy entrance (for points) for additional guests beyond the one you are allowed.

But I think the OP was referring to someone without status coming to the desk and asking to buy entrance for a fee.

I have seen one or two things in my short life (so far), one of them is OP
letting nice people go to the Lounge if you are nice enough...
Especially if you dont feel well after many connections, and you ask so nice.
(I was about to offer such guy to enter with me being sure the OP will say
no, But she gave him the pass...).

There Humans sometimes... 8-)


(If not you can always say LiorM sent you, No ?)
