Entry age to Royal Silk Lounge?
Hey guys
My 15 year old son will be flying DEL-BKK-DEL by himself in 2 weeks, in Business Class. I was wondering if he will have any problems getting into the lounges at either end because of his age? I ask since I read a thread over at Airliners.net last week there a guy was denied acces to a CO lounge in the US because he was underage.
Any help would be most appreciated!

I hope that he does not have any problems entering the lounges !
...I wish my parents had sent me on business class trips when I was 15 ... oh, no - now I remember: It was in First !

Well, recently there was someone who was refused entry to the CO lounge as he/she was under 21 and the lounge has a bar. Sometimes if the "bouncer" is strict, he/she will refuse entry. But he could always try other *A lounges.

Yes, that was the issue I reffered to in the first post. When we were both at the lounge a few weeks ago the "bouncer" didn't even check our BP since she was too busy on the phone...hopefully it will be like that when he passes through.

My son traveled LAX-BKK when he was 14 and 16 (last trip Dec06). He used the lounge by himself both times with no hassle. He looks more llike an adult than a kid so that may be why he had no trouble.
He did get a rough treatment by the immigration officer for not having filled out his entry/exit card correctly - again, maybe because he looked older than 14.

The Sounds of Silence
I pay out of pocket for lounge access (and for rooms on the club floor of hotels) and a significant part of what I am paying for is an environment of adult professionals.
If a kid is quiet, fine (although I truly dislike the presence of children in adult environments). If he or she starts to squawk, I will have no compunction about asking the parent and the brat to leave and, if they refuse, I will ask security to remove them.
