I'd really like to give her the benefit of relaxing and spending an hour or so enjoying some of the Bolly!

In fact I did try this and was given a very firm "NO" at Gatwick. I was lectured on how the cardholder is responsible for the conduct of their guests in the lounge and if they weren't there then they could not enforce this. And I only asked very politely without even asking to admit the children.

Fortunately IMO the majority are far more flexible. This is airline POLICY after all and not the law!
