QF children enters free policy is for QF operated flights only, and for pax of any OW status? But not for QF members accessing other OW lounges? Sounds like operator pays?
In my X number of years using the QF F lounges, or the DOM J lounges, never had an issue with QF not allowing my wife and children in as guests of a BA OWE when flying QF, when flying CX, QR etc, they specifically said that CX, QR is one guest only irrespective of age.
It may be murky in the shadows of the rules, but it is pretty consistently applied at SYD and MEL and the dom J lounges and QF clubs. And without any question, argument, discussion, just a smile and in you go.
Maybe I just smile nicely?
