Reply To: Using Avios to pay for airport lounges

[Ihar]

You can always try depending on your party size! (Depending on the TOD, if the lounge isn’t too busy). Recently a couple were trying to “blag” (ask kindness) to get their 13yo daughter into a lounge operated by a 3rd party without luck, when I showed up. Immediately she was my guest – problem solved. Blagging young kids in is a lot easier than adults.

Otherwise I just pay for the rest of my party to use a 3rd party lounge, get them settled, and then head off to the BA lounge. Would never use Avois. BTW a lot of “paid lounges” are super-busy and you’d get better value sitting in a restaurant IMHO.
