And what's the cost of allowing the children of status card holders in lounges? They're hardly raiding the licquor.
A contensious issue for sure - however I for one am glad that these restrictions exists. Kids can be noisy and lounges are often already over-crowded. And I've seen too many examples of bad parenting to feel bad about this.
