Wonder if it's worth buying one of those lounge passes as I travel with the kids.

The layovers aren't longer than 3 hours, and a lot of that will probably be tied up with security and customs, so probably not worth it.

Three hour layovers with children are why airports should still have arcades. -- nm - mafic May 29, 17:09 5
- Believe it or not, most still do. But that's why God invented the iPad. -- nm - Mop May 29, 17:11 4
  - PHL has "Two aviation-themed play areas include hands-on equipment that kids can climb and crawl in to mimic piloting" and free wifi -- nm - ty97 May 29, 17:37 2
    - Calgary has an arcade called Flippers in the 'Departures - Canada' area -- nm - ty97 May 29, 17:39 1
      - There used to be a gawdawful airplane carousel thing that made an ear-splittlingly loud ratching noise as it was turned - Reagen May 29, 17:52

Alls I know is Qantas lets you bring immediate family in if you yourself are entitled. -- nm - mafic May 29, 17:08 3
- It's a hodge podge mess nowadays with rules, thus all the questions. -- (edited) - ty97 May 29, 17:12 2
  - 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
Routing? Airline? This will impact which clubs are even available and what their policies are -- nm - ty97 May 29, 17:06 8
- Portland/Calgary/Montreal on Air Canada; Montreal/Philly/Portland on American. - Mop May 29, 17:10 7
  - For the AA itinerary on the return, you can buy a day pass for $59 and can bring in three children under 18 for free (no free guests over 18). - ty97 May 29, 17:17 6
    - We've got a bit of a layover in Philly. This may be worthwhile. They also have something called Minute Suites. -- nm - Mop May 29, 17:21 1
      - I think I've seen them but know nothing about them. -- (edited) - ty97 May 29, 17:27
    - AC has a Maple Lead lounge at Calgary but you have to be flying on a Latitude or Flex ticket in order to have the right to buy into the lounge - ty97 May 29, 17:21 3
      - Looks like Prirority Pass can get me access to the Aspire lounges in Calgary. -- nm - Mop May 29, 17:23 2
