If this is indeed a new policy in regards to guesting into the lounge, this ought to have been communicated to all members rather than just change the T&C without notice, or communication about it.

Most member lounges. I know this was the case that they recently changed the policy. I think they should revert to the original one.
The new policy, which again is only available in Hebrew, doesn't make sense, in terms of understanding what it is. A bunch of people so far have posted what they think it means, and everyone has come to a different conclusion.

I think its very clear,
Due to the amount of parallel flights between EL-AL and Israir/Arkia (esepcially in the summer), If you dont fly EL-AL you are not entitled to use
the lounge, This is in order to prevent crowded lounge...

As why they dont mentioned other airlines, I think they dont want to be drafted into massive complains like they had few years ago when they did
such a restriction on all airlines.

They never check my ticket at the enterance to the lounge, I simply smile and continue to the Business/First, If someone (doesnt recognize me), I say i am TPL...

(was flying friday with BA and went to the LY lounge, No one said anything)

So your understanding is that officially you can enter the lounge ONLY when flying LY (unless you are a TPL)?

If this is so so I still don't understand why they didn't write exactly this.

That's not what ebzed was saying at all.

He said you can't enter when traveling on an IZ or 6H (ISR) flight leaving around the same time as an
LY flight.

Can one not enter at all when flying IZ or 6H, or can one not enter as the primary guest when on those airlines (for flights leaving at the same time)?

I read it as same time, but who knows...?

Perhaps if we actually had a proper LY lurker here we could get some answers...

Any recent experiences of KDL members trying to access lounge (with or without a guest) while flying a different airline (a non-Israeli airline)?

Were you allowed in, or were you refused entry? I'm speficically asking about the TLV KDL.

Thanks,

Bostonbali

There is no problem what so ever.
