Family policy and complimentary lounge invites

[cmon0005]

Hi all,

I am well aware of the qantas lounge family policy, however not sure if it works with the complimentary invites.
I have gifted my 2x complimentary invites to family of mine flying syd-cgk on QF they're a party of 3, 2xadults, 1x 16 year old.
My question is will they allow the 16y/o in as part of the family policy or will they ask for another invite?

Any experiences greatly appreciated, I would ask on Twitter but not sure the answer I would get would be correct

Thanks

They will most likely want a 3rd invitation. Some have had luck guesting infants/toddlers with these passes, but I suspect the lounge angels will treat a 16yo differently.

If anyone has the qf syd intl J lounge phone number(they don't publish it online anymore) would you mind pm it to me please?
I might call and ask at the source as well.

Thanks for the link Steady, though I suspect things may have been 'enhanced' since then? Also there is no red roo to fall back on now
I'm still going to hunt down the phone number and ask the lounge staff what's the go.

You will need 3 invites. My wife and 2 kids (11 & 8) needed 3 invites to get in to the BNE domestic lounge a month ago.

I told them to try with 1 at first but it didn't work

Thanks for the info, will keep an eye out on the 'Free to a good home' section from now on don't want my family members to be embarrassed if refused entry for all 3.

Data point. My NB sister-in-law was allowed into the ADL QC with her 6 month year old son on a single complimentary pass a few days ago.

I intended to get her into the SYD QC two days prior but I hadn't connected the invite to her actual booking (it seems unnecessarily complicated) but she was saved from the walk of shame and let in anyway.
