I had no problems using it at the gate, I've put my phone on the reader and immediately it came up with the red light and "unable to board" message.

Are you talking about HBO security questioning? indeed I went back to use the normal one due to the long queue, and then moved on to use the fast-track for the screening, there was no queue at all for that.

No, the line there was okay (but I didn't travel HBO today). I was there at around 4:40 and the queue for the fast track x-ray machines and metal detectors was long as the exile

I would use a mobile BP if I could get one, but my BA app still tells me that they are unavailable for TLV ...

Any recent experience using mobile BP at TLV, LY or otherwise?

Separately, does anyone know if I check-in through the LY "app" if I can get the mobile BP and get an emailed PDF to print? I want that as a back-up in case of an issue, without showing it if mobile works properly. (Prefer that over using the kiosks there for a variety of reasons.)

When checking-in thru the app, a PDF version will be sent to your mail automatically.
If this doesn't work ,go to the website, under manage my booking there is an option to "print a boarding pass" when you do this it also sends a PDF BP to your mail.

Good to know, thanks! That being said, do you know if mobile BP with LY actually works (either at TLV or abroad)?

Finally I was issued today a mobile BP by BA.com and I was able to use it all across the airport. That said, the agent at the lounge still needed to copy my details from the BP on a piece of paper

I had some fun last time I flew out of TLV, I bypassed security (as I was travelling HBO) and went directly to the counter to enquire about an upgrade, so I ended up with a counter printed BP, which they didn't want to admit me into the HBO questioning queue with and asked if I also have one on my phone instead

Yes, it happened to me in the past. I didn't have a mobile one back then though....

I have used UA and LH mobile boarding passes in TLV frequently and most recently last week, worked without a problem. If you have bags the system/agent will print paper ones anyway, but you can keep them as souvenirs and use the mobile if you prefer.
