EL AL Top Platinum Lounge

A status-only El Al lounge intended for Top Platinum members; it is the most appropriate choice if you have that eligibility.

How to get in

Airline statusReserved for eligible EL AL Top Platinum members and eligible accompanying travelers.

The honest take

This is EL AL's dedicated Top Platinum offering in Terminal 3, separate from ordinary independent-lounge access.

Access is tightly restricted, so it is generally a calmer choice than the main airline lounge when open and available to you.
