Question HKIA lounge query

Hi all, I have searched and I think the answer is "it will be at the discretion of the lounge attendants" but just wanted to check.

I'm CX Silver and have one lounge pass as part of mid-tier benefits. Travelling with family (two adults and two kids, both under 6). Travelling in economy.

Would I be able to get all four of us into a CX lounge in HKIA?

Thanks in advance.

Children need to be under 2 years per policy. If lounges are not busy you may have a chance - I have witnessed this happen more than once.

Thanks for that. Can I redeem on the day (i.e. if lounge attendant rejects the kids coming in as well can I redeem at 11k AM there and then?)

I would say chances are slim as CX are taking over running the lounges by themselves and they are being super strict. I think they should have a seperate area for people with kids, as frankly on most occassions the self entitled parents seem to think ,we all enjoy watching listening to those noisy bratts running around.

I am guessing they have been told to get strict on this as every penny counts these days.

My wife (now OWS) travelling with a DM and two non-status last week - wanted to join them in Pier F but was told this would cost her DM friend 15k AM. Of course not.
