Dan Lounge B

BA’s contract “DAN+” space at Concourse B pulls the crowds

Dan Lounge B sits in Terminal 3’s Concourse B and handles much of the oneworld and Star Alliance premium traffic out of TLV, including British Airways, so it fills fast during the late‑evening long‑haul bank around 21:00–23:30. Access is via business‑class tickets, oneworld status, and other partner agreements for Terminal 3 flights. Think of it as the workhorse lounge for non‑El Al airlines rather than anything aspirational.

The lounge sits airside in Concourse B, a few minutes’ walk from most B‑gates, and functions as BA’s DAN+ contract lounge according to regulars on FlyerTalk. That means BA Club and status passengers are directed here instead of to an airline‑branded lounge, and it also explains why the space feels like a high‑volume cafeteria when multiple departures to London, Europe, and North America stack up.

Food is basic but predictable: frequent visitors report cold salads, bread, simple hot snacks, desserts, and self‑serve espresso available even when arriving “shortly after 10 PM.” Expect carbs and dairy over anything resembling a full hot meal, and don’t count on the spread changing much month to month. If you need a real dinner, eat in the main Terminal 3 food court before heading down the B pier.

Drinks revolve around self‑serve local alcohol: Barkan wine, Tuborg beer, soft drinks, and a coffee machine show up in multiple trip reports from the B concourse lounge. Spirits are usually present but not premium labels, so this is more pre‑flight glass of wine than cocktail bar. Water and sodas are easy to grab and bring to your seat while you watch the B‑gates.

Seating runs cafeteria‑style with tables and chairs laid out more like a restaurant than a living room, and NerdWallet notes complimentary newspapers and magazines in the Dan network, which matches photos from this lounge. Power outlets exist but not at every seat, so charge in the terminal if your laptop is part of the plan. Expect noise levels to spike as soon as two or three departures board from the B‑gates at once.

Regular BA flyers describe a clear pattern: head straight to Dan Lounge B for a quick shower or light plate, take advantage of the espresso and desserts, then move to the gate early before the 22:00 crowd hits. Others time their visit to off‑peak hours, using the lounge more as a bathroom and drink stop than a place to camp out for two hours.

Practical tip: if your flight leaves in the late‑evening wave and you value a seat, aim to reach Dan Lounge B at least 90 minutes before departure, grab food and a drink, and then relocate toward your specific B‑gate once the room starts feeling like a busy cafeteria.
