The issue we have is that with a two year old I do not think we can travel CW as certainly would not feel comfortable with a two year old in a CS (as covered in many threads). therefore it will be WTP for the next few years. Not expecting any sympathy, but just noting that due to having three kids we cannot get the benefit of status and I cannot pay for the benefit as I do not think the product is suitable. First world problem I know and I suspect only an issue for a couple of years but a part of me does think discretion could be applied in this situation but I am not the type to ask at the entrance.
you might get in at galleries club with a just turned 2 year old if you ask politely and tge lounge is quiet but it's a lottery for sure.

There are options for bringing in a larger family but only unfortunately if you or your partner have GGL status which requires a lot more flying
