Since QAS/Dan Hotels has the concession for non-LY lounges at T3, I just assumed that they could be contracted to operate a UC/PL on behalf of United, like Sodexo in the USA and contractors do overseas, but for whatever reason it won't work at TLV.
Well, nothing like a crisis to produce opportunities.. maybe Dan will go bankrupt in the current crisis...
