A Gold travelling Premium Economy, chance of getting two colleagues into the Lounge?

[mcaves]

Hi All,

I'm a Gold travelling PE SYD-CNS today together with a couple of colleagues on saver fares, is there any chance I can get the two of them into the lounge?
How strict is the one guest policy, especially if I'm travelling PE?

Cheers,

Matt.

It doesn't hurt to ask (nicely).

I managed to get 6 family members into the AA lounge in LAX by asking very nicely

With charm and politeness, most things are possible.

Last week, I managed to get a friend into a FLounge when said friend was not travelling with. But was travelling on a OW flight. It was made VERY clear that the indulgence was a one off.

It all depends on the Lounge person and possibly how busy the FLOunge is.

Good luck.

Its a big new Q dom lounge in CNS, I've got extra pax in there after asking nicely.

I've been told that in the past as well, but it's not as if they keep track of it ...

AA have different guest rules for A/C members than Qantas for QP, being "2 guests or immediate family". While not specifically applicable for oneworld status based entry, families are generally permitted.

Admirals Club ( R ) Lounge Access

*All guests must accompany the member. Immediate family refers to spouse, domestic partner and/or children under 18 years of age.

I am hoping that it is not recorded!

Mostly, I am a solo traveller, as a result I rarely exercise guesting "privileges". Indulgence on the part of the Lounge Dragons is greatly appreciated!

Put on a big cheeky grin and managed to guest 3 friends in - Thank you Virgin Australia and the lounge angels

They did make sure I knew it was a one off, no problems there!

Cheers,

Matt
