After a 10-day trip in Israel, I was excited to be back home with my family — but less enthused for the 13-hour flight to get there. To soften the blow of my upcoming economy seat experience on El Al, I spent a relaxing hour or so enjoying the Dan Lounge at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport.
How to get in
I have the Chase Sapphire Reserve®, whose annual fee of $450 includes free Priority Pass Lounge membership. As a Priority Pass member, I had the option to enjoy the amenities in the Dan Lounge or use a food and drink credit worth about $28 in U.S. currency at The Schmoozy Bar, a wine and tapas restaurant.
