Additional TPL Benefit...
Hi, Something i figure out only on my last flight,
If you are TPL you are entitled using the F class lounge as long as its not
full... This catch for all EL-AL lounges, You simply need to ask if its abroad at the check-in time...
The more interesting part is when i asked if this is valid (as i was told about it by another TPL), Beside the fact it was approved, The F class lounge in KDL was close (no service) but they still offered me to open it if i am searching
for some quiet environment if i need to work/talk on the phone of course i agreed... (may_east) Spoiled or not ??

There are 3 types of TPLs:
1. If your company (you as the CEO) is doing with EL-AL few m$ (flights/cargo), You get TPL without the need to fly once...
(So no flights)
2. If you fly F to the US, 10 Flights you are TPL, Or if you fly Z and up to the US, 12 or 13 flights (if you fly less, but your family fly with you in Z and up as well and you buy Cartisia, you will get "discount" on needed points for TPL.
3. If you are Ebzed which is very spoiled, And fly a lot in cheap business (W) or Economy (S) + Upgrades or add you from your pocket to D since no upgrade or W available and you Boss doesnt care if you will swim to the customer, you need to do 10k points or 9k points and 62 legs...
I assume you wouldnt mind being TPL due to 1 or 2..., And knowing you are not spoiled, you wouldnt wish becoming TPL due to no. 3...
(Hey Boss!, I know you read my posts over here... Any chances for D next sunday?)
Thanks,
Ebzed.

, i think that you should find a boss that pays more (so you can afford the upgrade payment) or find customers that pay more for your skills. and as i said in previous posts - F is not worth the extra money, and i see that you also wont splurge the extra $$$ for F, but get D at the most...

about that... Its not just about lounge access, But also for example,
There are planes crew that will give you the feeling you are special (because you are TPL, or even PL), and some will ignore you.
Or the fact that they will tag some people luggage as First and wont do it to others (when both flying C)
