As of January 1, 2010, premium Class passengers, King David Club members, Gold, Platinum and Top Platinum members will enjoy hospitality in EL AL’s  prestigious King David Lounges in New York, London and Paris only before their EL AL flights. Passengers must hold flight tickets with the LY code.

In addition, the temporary permit for lounge privileges that enabled transit passengers arriving in Hong Kong or Bangkok on EL AL flights and continuing on foreign carriers is canceled.

King David Club members who paid their membership dues by November 30, 2009 (and did not receive the membership as a gift) will enjoy hospitality at the King David Lounges, as before, until their present membership period expires.

Hospitality policy at the Ben-Gurion Airport Lounges remains unchanged.
