Are mini guests allowed? i.e. a gold member signing in a child.
(the assumption if they are not flying UC)
Or does the 12 year old rule apply, as per FC.. B)

One of my questions working out some VS/BA comparisons..
Mrs NH also near a gold potential, so trying to decide if its actually worth it..Or just save the cash and switch to BA in 2012

don't see why not.

I saw an ankle biter in one lounge and another pax queried this and I head the staff say that ankle biters Daddy was Gold and said biter was their guest. On the plane daddy and biter were in PE. Could be this was a mistake ...

I am not aware of any rules about the ages of guests, nor can I remember ever reading about anyone being refused access, when trying to sign in a mini Guest.

Cheers Tonty, Presume One lounge meaning CH or BA lounge...eitherway expected query from "another pax" was based on a corporate flyer with inflated impression of their own status, who'd not used any of their own money......

oops sorry, a pet hate of mine.. :|

I've taken my daughter into the LHR CH on a couple of occasions when I was Gold and flying PE. On each occasion I'd signed my wife in as my guest. I guess it helped that she was under 3 years old on each occasion, (my daughter, not my wife 8D)

Luckily enough we were all upgraded to UC, hasn't ever happended since!
