There is no specific age entry requirement I am aware of for RCC but there is an age requirement to become a paid RCC member or use one time pass.

Flew BF last year and was able to access the PC at IAH even though I was under 20, and alone. The woman at the counter just told me, "Be a good boy and don't get a drink from the bar."
The flight attendants, however, offered me a drink and not wanting to be rude accepted.
That being said, I'm 21 now so I don't have to worry about getting denied access.

It's all about whether they have a self-service bar. My daughter went through this a lot at different clubs. Generally speaking though, if you are a member or flying C international, you can usually find an adult at the entrance who will sponsor you to get in.

Does anyone know where the thread is that has the full policy posted regarding allowing RCC members who are under 21 years of age to access the PC? I feel like AUS is going to once again try and deny me access.

Are you sure you're not referring to the thread where the policy which states *G members on an international itinerary may use the PC club without regard to their age as long as they are 18+?

The UA rep in the PC agreed that her behavior was very unprofessional.

Minimum age to access lounge?
My 13 y/o son is A3 *G and will be traveling MHT-IAD-DFW in June. He has a 1.5 hour layover at IAD. Will he be allowed lounge access? I've searched high and low and can't find any definite age requirement for entry (other than you have to be 21 to buy a paid membership). If he can't get in the UC, what about the LH lounge in Terminal B? Thanks for any info!

Don't know the official policy, but here's what I'd do:
Tell him to find a random dude in the terminal and offer to 'guest' him into the lounge if he'll 'chaperone' him. He's allowed 1 guest, so it's within the rules.
I seem to recall Lucky used to have trouble with the dragons in IAD. Probably before your time.....

some underage musician in the AC forum has always been denied access because of open bar..and he is super elite on AC..highest tier. even after he wrote the company for compensation, the response was quite unapologetic. i guess the airline would get into a lot of problems with the authorities with letting an underage person into a lounge with open bar.not sure about lounges with a bartender.why don't you call them and ask?
