A response in an earlier thread (albeit a slightly dated one which only covered one specific contract lounge) seems to indicate that that's the case. Are there generic rules?

and I have another question: I'm holding two *Alliance Gold cards. Can I use both cards to invite two guests into the lounge? Can I also bring in additionally my 2 years old son?

However unless you are getting someone really bad, you will be allowed to guest both your partner and infant son.

God bless the good old Swiss(-air) Travelclub days where I was able (~6 years ago, and I did't have status at that time!!) to bring 2 guests into the lounge in BCN using my father's frequentflyer card...!!! ^

My post wasn't supposed to be taken for an advise. I'm sorry if people got me wrong here.
Actually Swiss(-air) didn't lose (that much) money with this unique lounge visit since I fly them quit often. And my loyalty to LX is very high. The lounge visit in BCN - among other things - made me hungry
--> in the meantime I made FTL (on LX metal only!) and am now able to use the lounges according to the M&M rules. But again, I can understand your point here of course, and you're right.

My GF was denied to bring her sister and parents into the SEN lounge at FRA.

Do Infant count as guest?
Is there a rule or just up to the warden?
My passed experiences:
- NRT the ANA check in agent gave SEN + 1 guest + Infant + 3 old kind lounge passes
- ARN the SAS lounge warden let us in, no problem.
- FRA the SEN lounge warden let us in no problem.
It is my feeling that the Infant do not count at all and that the 3 year old kid, kind of go as infant as well.
