OW Sapphire Lounge Access with Family
Hello, I'm new to international travel and was recently in DOH. I'm OW Sapphire and thought I would be able to get lounge access for myself and my mother. I would then pay the $40 for my father. I was told no. I either had to leave 1 parent outside the lounge or pay $40 for each of us.
Is this correct?

Not enough information yet. What airline were you flying? What lounge were you trying to access?
This is the oneworld policy for access by tier status:

Sorry about that:
Flying Qatar Airways and was trying to get access to the Oryx lounge for everyone since I had read that non status passenger can pay $40 as long as they have a boarding pass and the lounge wasn't too crowded.

I believe you and one guest would have been entitled to access the QR business class lounge.

May I hop inside this thread and ask a hopefully simple question:
Being a (brand new) OW Emerald, travelling with my son in Y out of DOH on QR to BKK.
Is it permissable that we both use the QR F lounge located main terminal, 2nd floor?
Thanks a lot,
F.R.
