Was this always the policy and it's loosely enforced? Or is there some exception for NZ long hauls? We've had the whole family in the YVR AC lounge several times before, so was surprised that apparently we aren't entitled to it ... making me wonder where else we shouldn't expect lounge access as a family!

Cheers
