Complimentary Lounge Invitations - Flying with Children

Family trip is finally over, almost at home. Sydney QC lounge just asked if both adults had passes and didn’t even care about my 3 year old let alone the toddler but I allocated a pass to my 3 year old. The sydney QC lounge is a piece of cough. Their kids area is disgraceful and whoever is in charge should be ashamed of themselves. Virtually nothing to do, blunt pencils and no paper. No toys, some ripped up books and a tv with dangerous sit on toys.

Wait until you see the kids area in the Dom J lounge!
 
HI Everyone

So I will be going to the Qantas Domestic lounge in Sydney on the 27th Jan, I only have a pass for myself and wife allocated, I don't have one for my (8 year old) daughter, I am wondering if I should allocate one or not.

I have been taking my daughter to the Qantas club since she was 9 months old, and have never had to allocate a pass to her, however I haven't been to the Qantas club in about 2 years, and am wondering if she will need one

I know the "rules" say its for everyone, but I would like to know what the reality actually it.

I don't have any personal experience but my take on it is if the child is young enough to not use any of the amenities then they might have more leniency.

I'd certainly expect to need a pass for an 8 year old, especially in school holidays.

My kids are a little older but they seem to like checking they have a pass. I would use a third pass rather than risk it.
 
Thanks.. I did just link it to my daughter... First time in probably 8 visits to the Qantas club... it did give me an option to purchase for $45 or around 6k points. Which did make me laugh, how would my daughter eat $45 worth of toasties

My then 9 year old son certainly ate $45 worth of breakfast at the international lounge many years ago!
