After British Airways refused to let Maisie Williams (Arya Stark on Game of Thrones) into their business class lounge, Williams threw a hissy fit on Twitter.
Denied from the business lounge once again for being under 18 and without an adult.. @British_Airways sort your s**t out.

Just saying if 16-18 yr olds are grown up enough to travel 5,400 miles around the world..

British Airways was apologetic writing back, “Hi Maisie. We’re sorry if you were disappointed, lounge guests must be 18 or older. We look forward to welcoming you soon.”
Yes.. @British_Airways fully understand that, my question is why? Why can we travel alone but not use the lounge? It makes no sense.

They then explained that their business class lounges have a complimentary self-serve bar full of alcohol not always monitored by staff. Not like that answer is going to be acceptable to a 17-year-old celebrity. It’s way better feeling persecuted than understanding the logic behind something.
