Would a DJ Gold flyer travelling international with his family recieve all benefits?

[bigbadbyrnes]

Asking this question on behalf of a college of mine -

He wonders if he would still be entitled to receive all the Velocity Gold benefits when traveling overseas with his wife and two young children seeing as he would be the only velocity member in that group (family pooling obviously) who has Gold status - mostly wanted to know about getting the priority check in, priority bags and priority express customs clearance.


I advised him that priority check in, bags, security/customs clearing both going out and coming back would probably be a dead cert, but not too sure about lounge access as they are more likely to keep that to the gold member +1 (although it gets murky depending on the rules of the other lounges regarding children - some allow up to two kids under a certain age etc etc)

I couldn't tell him for sure though as I'm a one man wolf pack when it comes to most of my traveling, esp OS. Anyone out there with experience in exactly these circumstances?

Many many thanks.

It would depend how old the young children were and which routes/airline lounges he was travelling on/to. Different airlines can be very different with how they allow families access to lounges. Luckily he wouldn’t be flying BA

Can you share with us the ages and routes/intended lounge operators?

Kids = between 3 and 6.

Looking to fly VA to USA, also possibly SQ to its destinations (Europe etc).


Many thanks
