teve,
I was told by FC when I booked seats for my family that as my 3 year old had purchased a seat, he was entitled to enter the VS clubhouse at Gatwick.
the only time I gather this is a problem is at Manchester where all trhe clubhouses have an age limit and AFAIK Virgin use another airlines facilities.
But as I am not going until January 2005 from LGW I am using you as the test subject! :D:D:D
Seriously, check with the FC.

Richard

Thats nonsense - my friend was in there on Saturday with his two daughters who are both under 8 - and they were revenue UC passengers.

I've lost count of the times I have seen children and babies in the Clubhouses.

A few years ago the LGW Clubhouse actually looked at introducing a nanny/creche for the kids.

Could you imagine how much it goes against the family appeal of the airline if you ahd premium passengers spenidng over 5 figures with an airline for a holiday, only to be told that they can't use the Clubhouse which is one of the key points of the UC service.

Thanks,
Richard

Yup, completely agree with Richard - loads of kids in the Clubhouse (especially at LGW)... no problem

steve

im going to mco on friday so I'll try and remember to ask for you;)

Yes you will be fine at the Delta Crown Room in MCO - I've been there a number of times with my young sibling.

The text from my Priority pass handbook shows:

Lounge DELTA CROWN ROOM CLUB
Location Terminal B
Airside - near to Gate 60.
Hours 05.00 - 22.00 daily.
Conditions All immediate family members can enter a Delta Crown Room Club with the member,
but the number of persons who are not immediate family will be limited to two
(2) at any one visit ¥ Cardholder must be 21 years of age or older.

Thanks,
Richard

wow close one there then richard i only just made it over the 21 minimum age limit
thanks again for the help

is the delta crown any good ?
i guess not anywhere near as good as lgw

steve

Is any of the non-VS lounges as good as the Clubhouses?

The MCO Delta Crown room is very spacious, and has a complimentary bar with some light bar snacks. Its one of the better US lounges I have used.

Thanks,
Richard

I'll do a lounge report when I get back!!:D
