Hey Everyone,

Traveling to Vietnam soon (Ho Chi Minh / Da Nang / Hanoi). It's me, my partner, and our 6-year-old kid. I'm trying to map out the best way to handle lounge access for the three of us, but I'm getting a bit lost in the T&Cs and network rules. I could really use some advice!

Here are the cards I currently have:

HDFC Tata Neu Infinity (RuPay, no add-on)
IDFC Wealth Debit Cards (Both of us have separate accounts and our own cards)
IndusInd Pinnacle Credit Card (Main + add-on card, along with two Priority Pass cards)
Federal Celesta (Mastercard, no add-on)
HDFC Diners Club Privilege (No add-on)

My main worries/questions:

Multiple Lounge Networks: I’m a bit worried about the fragmentation of the networks (Priority Pass vs. LoungeKey vs. Diners Club). Obviously, we cannot go to separate lounges LOL. Are there specific lounges in SGN / DAD / HAN that accept a good mix of these cards so we can stay together?
The 6-Year-Old Factor: Since we both have enough cards to cover ourselves, getting the kid in is the biggest hurdle. Do lounges in Vietnam (or our outbound Indian airport) allow you to swipe an extra, unused premium card (like the Tata Neu or Federal) for a child, even if the name doesn't match the boarding pass? Or are we better off just paying the walk-in child rate?
Spend Criteria Check: I regularly put my spending on the HDFC DCP, but I hardly touch the others. Are there any recent spend-based criteria for international lounge access on the Tata Neu Infinity, Federal Celesta, or IndusInd Pinnacle that I should be aware of so I don't get declined at the desk?

Any tips, tricks, or specific lounge recommendations for these airports are super welcome! 🙏
(Apologies if this is a repeat query, but card benefits keep changing every minute 🙁 my trip starts tomorrow and I am desperate for up to date info)
