My 13 years old daughter is BAEC Silver, she will travel alone in June LAX-LHR-PRG in CW. She really does not want to use Skyflyer Solo services, she travelled this way many times before with the parents or with Skyflyer Solo service.
I know that unaccompanied minors do not have access to lounges. Do you know if there is a chance for an exception in OW LAX or T5 BA lounges? If she would travel with Skyflyer Solo, she also would not have lounge access.
She could have a letter from her parents if it would help... It's much safer for her to stay in a lounge than to wait somewhere in the terminal. This is a strange limitation, probably just for the access to alcoholic beverages but it's not a problem for my children, they are not stupid... She should have the same rights as other BAEC Silver and CW passengers, we pay the same amount for her ticket as other passengers...
