Canada Platinum - Which HKG lounges are available to the "Platinum Lounge Program"?
I know Priority Pass has access to some HKG lounges, but I'm wondering if there are any lounges available to the "Platinum Lounge Program", which means, you can get in just by showing your Platinum card, no need for the Priority Pass card?
Or in general, where can I find a complete directory of all lounges available to Platinum cardholders? I checked the benefits page on AMEX website but the lounges listed there seem to be not complete. For example, it says there's no lounges available to "Platinum Lounge Program" in HKG.

What airline are you flying with?
AMEX Plat offers SOME airline club access
AA/DL - you have to fly on them
US - you don't need to fly on them (I think)
by the way, here's an old PDF file (Oct 2011) I saved to indicate all lounges for AMEX Plat, you can take a look

Also, the "Platinum Lounge Program" says:
Your spouse and two children under the age of 21, or one travel companion are also granted complimentary access to participating lounges, when traveling with you.
Does that mean:
1) I can bring either "my spouse and two children" or "one travel companion"
Or,
2) I can bring "my spouse" and ("two children" or "one travel companion")?

It's simply = you can take your "family" or "stranger as guest"
