Lounge access flexibility ?

2 x adults in J will be travelling with 2 x 16 year olds in Y. No EK status for any of us.

Is there any / much chance of getting the 16 year old into the LGW and DXB T3 Business lounges ?? I assume there is no entitlement and just wondered how strict EK are (BA are pretty good in this situation, at least if one has Gold status).

I thought each J flyer gets a +1 for the lounge - though have to say I have always been on my own or with other J/F flyers, so not 100% sure. In any event, I'd certainly give it a go - I reckon at LGW they will let you in and it is a great lounge there!

Not J flyers. If you have Gold status, you can take a guest.

Cheers,
