Dan Lounge C

Flights from Concourse C usually get sent to Dan Lounge C.

This is the Terminal 3 business lounge used by several airlines when your flight departs from the C gates, and it mirrors Dan B in food and layout. If your boarding pass prints “Dan Lounge C,” follow signs toward Concourse C after passport control and security; entrance sits airside, before the last split to the C pier.

Opening hours track the main departure waves from TLV, roughly late evening through early morning plus daytime banks, but they shift with the schedule, so check your airline’s app on the day. Access is by airline business-class/elite invite or contract cards that list “Dan Lounge” at Terminal 3; you can’t just walk in from Terminal 1 and you’ll already have cleared security in T3.

Inside, expect the standard Dan setup: cold salads, breads, dips, pastries, and basic hot items that regulars say repeat across both B and C lounges. Coffee machines and soft drinks are self‑serve, with local beers and a few spirits on the counter; think short pre‑flight snack, not a full meal, and plan to grab something more substantial in the T3 departures hall if you have time.

Seating runs in long rows and small clusters, similar to Dan B, with views onto the C concourse and nearby gates. Forum posts call out frequent overcrowding around late‑night Europe departures, so at 22:00 you may end up in a side corner chair instead of a workspace. There are a few higher tables that work better if you need to open a 15‑inch laptop.

Power is the weak point: reviews complain about sparse outlets near many seats, especially older armchairs against the interior walls. If you spot a free seat next to a floor box or wall socket, grab it immediately and keep a multi‑port charger handy so you can top up phone and laptop before boarding at C gates like C3 or C5.

Regulars treat Dan Lounge C as a proximity play: if your aircraft shows on the board at Concourse C, this saves around 5–10 minutes of walking compared with trekking back from Dan B by the B pier. One practical tip: check your gate on arrival to passport control; if it already shows a B gate, skip Dan C and head to the B lounge to cut backtracking later.
