*G lounge policy change?
« on: August 18, 2012, 07:38:23 PM »
i recently tried to enter a lounge using star gold and was told that as of 6 months ago there was a change of policy where i can only guest one family member in, either wife or child.

anyone heard of this before?

That has always been the official policy for *G access.

Implying more than one fam member? definitely not the case.. never worked for me traveling with spouse and a couple kids.. can never enter, as I'm only allowed one guest

They might not be too happy to let a couple of kids disturbing the lounge...

Thats not the problem...if my kid had a pass..they allow him in...ive done it before.  The question now is without passes-just having *G...which officially the rule is only one other person can come in.  Did anyone have success bringing spouse AND kid in?  Any tricks?  If not ill just use passes.
