LHR Lounge
from LY Website:
The move to Terminal 4 was planned due to the closure of Terminal 1 in summer 2015. EL AL's Business Class passengers will be hosted at the new Plaza Premium Lounge located in Terminal 4, until the re-opening of the King David Lounge in Terminal 4 at the end of the year.
Nu?
end of secular year or Jewish year ?
Anyone seen sight or sound of it?

I have been there and it's great. Way better than the old LY lounge. Good, hot food, if you don't care about Kashrut. Not sure about Kosher food quality but it can't be worse than the old LY lounge. Overall one of the better lounges at LHR, in my opinion.

The Plaza lounge is pathetic! Sorry, I can't agree with anyone who thinks otherwise. And the kosher food box EL AL distribute there is an embarrassment.

Out of interest, what's in this 'kosher box'? Is is similar to HKG, where it contains bisilli, pretzels and a long life pastry IIRC?

As I recall, there is a roll, some hummous, a little salad, and a slice or two of smoked turkey (why on earth they think anyone would want that in the lounge is beyond me).

The only problem with the BA setup is that you can't get soup in the F lounge! I can understand the fact they have simpler offerings in the C lounge (bagels instead of a main course) but soup would be most welcome in the F lounge! It is now available in the Concorde lounge though, after I sent repeated emails to BA about it. They are so sensitive to customer feedback about the Concorde lounge that the manager there went personally to the F lounge to get us some soup, on two occasions!

I enjoy seeing how you send emails even though you may be the only one fighting for something. Like you did about the ELAL meals as you mentioned at the beggining of this thread. ^
