So Funny Story

Coming to you live from King David Lounge in JFK airport.

So apparently El Al won't let you check-in until a certain time before your flight. To keep their business travelers happy, they provide a lounge on the outside of the security gate so you can relax and enjoy their overstuffed recliners, olives, hummus, some identified yet delicious tabouli-like salad, and well-stocked bar while you wait to check-in.

Which would've been nice to know before we ate over-priced Chinese food in the common area (should I add "with the common people"?).

We had been told we'd be able to enjoy the business-class El Al Lounge before checking in, but when we asked an El Al employee at ticketing, she told us the lounge was inside the security gate. Since El Al won't allow you to check-in early, we were out of luck.

She was wrong.

So we kept it real and hung out with the peeps.

(Side note: I'm not flying business class, but they're giving us a few of the business-class privileges.)

Good news: we're now in the lounge, enjoying all the privileges I can before we need to board our flight.

A peek inside the lives of the rich and the famous.

Fellow travelers and writers hard at work.

Sort of.

We're thinking of you, of course.

Shalom!
