However you'd like to interpret it is really up to you. And I agree that a pax with a minor or child is different than a group of adults traveling together. That said, you are still breaking the rules. In the twitter incident thread I linked to earlier, feelings here were overwhelmingly against the father, specifically because as an A-lister, he should have known the rules better than anyone. I hope you continue to receive the gate experience you say you have. And will repeat that I consider the policy to be a nonsensical one. But it still exists. And you are breaking it.
