Club check-in is only an explicit benefit for the cardholder. In practice, BA are generous and will let a couple of pax travelling together (even on different PNRs) use the Club desks if one of them is entitled to do so. But this always seems to be a matter of discretion. With a group of four or more and only one person entitled to use the Club desks, I think you're going a bit far to try to all use the Club desk.
Lounge access rules are clear: one guest only.
Picking seats is clear: silver benefit extends to all on the same PNR.
Double miles is clear: applies to cardholder only.
So what isn't clear exactly?
I'm not being clear with the double miles.. I didn't mean to imply that other people will get that benefit!
The parts you said were clear, I clearly said I knew were clear - if the PNR was in my name, not so clear if I'm merely playing a supporting role on the PNR - however sunrisegirl has kindly clarified.
The parts you're not clear on - I'm not clear on. Sunrisegirl again has kindly offered to clarify.
The rule on CW check-in privledges - I'm not concerned about for my own needs, however If all of the other benefits are inclusive to the holder and at least one other then I'd be suprised if this wasn't!?
