Platinum Domestic Lounge Access: 2 guests + a child?

[birder]

I'm wondering about platinum lounge access at the domestic lounge in Sydney. The Qantas website says you can bring in two guests. Is that two guests plus a child? I'm flying out of Sydney with a friend, and my partner and young daughter are driving us up from Canberra. I would really like for them to be able to come into the lounge with us. What do you think?

Yes you can, children do not count as guests.

The last time I looked, child means 'under 18'.

See the table at the bottom of this page. 2 children allowed 4 to 17 years not counted as guests.

Eligibility and Access to The Qantas Club Lounges | Qantas

The last time I looked, child means 'under 18'.

I'm having trouble deciphering your post. I would have thought that "young daughter" implies under 18. So there would be the platinum member, 2 adults and one child. :?:

Firstly, I think you having any problem with Business Lounge access is unlikely.

But interestingly if I go here

https://www.qantas.com.au/fflyer/dyn/flying/tier-benefits#even-more-benefits

And click Benefits of Platinum it has

Platinum members may access the following lounges when your next onward flight is on a Qantas^, Emirates^, Jetstar Airlines* or oneworld operated and marketed flight34 regardless of class of travel. Access is also provided to one guest and up to two children (aged 4 -17 years)37 who are travelling with you on the same flight.

And underneath it has International AND Domestic lounges with no different rules for Domestic lounge access.

Having said that I don't think you are likely to have a problem (which is not an entitlement of course).

Yes there are some inconsistencies in the qantas website. For example, at the end of the section with the quoted paragraph above it says:

Access Domestic Business Lounges or the Qantas Club upon arrival if you have travelled that day on any flight that shows a Qantas, Jetstar Airline or a oneworld® flight number on your ticket. You may also bring two guests, who do not need to be travelling.

So they can have 1 guest at the departure point who most be travelling with them. But 2 guests when they arrive who don't have to have travelled at all? Or the person who prepared the website tried to make it too simple, or forget that there are different allowance for international and domestic? They certainly didn't check the website for internal consistency.
