BA Silver lounge access for 1 adult with two young children?

[MiddleEngland]

Travelling with my two girls (7 & 9), is it even worth asking if we can access Galleries T5 as a Silver member?

[novelty-socks]

No, from my experience travelling with one three-year-old!

(Well I mean, there’s still no harm in asking. Wouldn’t rate your chances though.)

Eh? If it’s just you and a 3-year old then obviously they will let you both in. Your 3-year old is your guest.

I would give it a try. The lounge agent may take pity on you!

Go to T5B, they may be happy to let you in as it will be mostly empty

More likely if they’re 2 and 3 though, don’t really rate your chances with 7 and 9 yo

Worth asking, but expect a no. I suspect the staff’s leniency on this might vary depending on how busy it is when you are there.

Be graceful if it is a no… Them’s the rules after all. Be very thankful if you get a yes… They’re doing you a favour.

I’ve asked a few times, always been a ‘no’ except once, but not at Heathrow. Don’t ask don’t get, though!

Isn’t there a lounge meetup thread on flyertalk? A post there might save lurking hoping someone single might guest the 3rd one in…

Go in as same time as someone on their own and ask. Will you guest my daughter please..
