Googled this but have not found answer - so posting question here.
Assuming I hold ST+ in 2 different FFP and I am departing internationally, can I bring 1 guest with 1 card and another guest with different card (they all will be flying on same flight) to the lounge? :confused:

I doubt that this will work as a real entitlement; it's a matter of discretion. But if you ask nicely, they might well allow it. You could, after all, first enter the lounge with one guest on the basis of one card and leave the lounge to re-enter it with the other guest on the basis of the other card.
I think it all depends on your behaviour towards the lounge staff.

Actually I would like to know formally, because from the rules you can read on the websites, it should be possible exactly in a way you say, enter once with one guest using 1 card and then re-enter with another guest using different card. We'll see :)

Since you can only have one FF program tied to your boarding pass at a time, wouldn't that come into play? It seems that since a same-day SkyTeam flight is required for lounge access, they'd only allow one guest based on your status in the program you're crediting the miles to/reflecting the status from for that flight.

Actually you can enter without FFP being mentioned on the BP. I can get those people in using combination of ST+ and Diners card in PRG, but elsewhere it won't work, so I am trying to see what would be the formal rule. I am not even sure if anyone from ST thougt of this :-) I emailed lounge staff but they answer was rather generic with one guest total allowed regardles if you have 1 or 5 elite cards with ST, which in my opinion is not entirely clear, because I believe that depending on particular card used to enter the lounge respective airline is billed for this.

I think you might have missed my point and just read what you wanted to hear.

I thought you were going to ask if you could occupy multiple seats. Yes you can have two cookies.
If you are allowed a guest, you can. If not, you cannot use the other card to bring a guest.
