Not sure if this is the correct place but, is the lounge at TLV still open? Are they serving anything, I’m flying Tuesday night and that’s where I usually do dinner, please, no conjecture just fact.- thanks,

LAX lounge is closed and instead they give you a $40 duty-free voucher rather than a voucher for an alternate lounge. Bummer,

Worse than I expected. $40 duty free voucher to use on the airplane or $25 duty free for drinks in the terminal. Why couldn't Elal purchase access to alternate lounges at LAX?

Is it because the alternative lounges are not kosher? Seems they could at least have provided an option.

I have been in oodles of lounges and in the USA there are always potato chips with an OU or Diet Coke or beer or pretzels as well as many other items that are kosher. Elal just doesn't care about their premium clients so I suspect this is just another nail in the business class coffin of Elal.

The lounge in JFK is closed too. When I was there in mid January, I was told, it was permanent, They send you to a different lounge. ( in opposite direction) Agent told me 5 minute walk! Well the Virgin Club House is past A5 ( not on boarding level) By my tracker that was .6 miles— in the opposite direction! - and then back again..considering that ElAl uses gates at the far end of,the “Bl concourse, THAT is a lot of walking.
all service is waiters! Kosher they gave you : You did have a choice of mains! However, this is NOT the experience I want. The waitress was apologetic about the food!
on the plus- nice bathroom and there appeared to be showers!

Amsterdam lounge closed?
Amsterdam lounge closed "due to repairs". They give 22euro food credit. Not a good move elal. Plenty of other lounges you can purchase entry. Just might cost a bit more than 22euro per person.

Lounge Name: Virgin Clubhouse
Location: Terminal 4 - cncourse A adjacent to gate A4. 5:00am - 9:00am and 15:00 to 23:00.
LY8 departs 23:50 so basically they kick you out of the lounge at 23:00 from the lounge and even a 15 minute walk gets you at 23:15 to the gate.
