  - Wonder if it's worth buying one of those lounge passes as I travel with the kids. - Mop May 29, 17:05 19
    - Three hour layovers with children are why airports should still have arcades. -- nm - mafic May 29, 17:09 5

        Qantas is one unrelated guest, or immediate family. in theory they also have to be travelling on the day, but they've never checked when I've brought - mafic May 29, 17:17 1
        
        Mind you, I hate you for having Qantas lounges, those are pretty nice. - ty97 May 29, 17:33
