Well, option 2 was the
alternative. I was asking if anyone had found a lounge dragon that accepted the first method. And TBH, I struggle to see how anyone suffers in the "fraud". The lounge charges PP for 2 people, I've paid PP for 2 people, 2 people get into the lounge. I'm not selling the entry for profit, just trying to sort my family out, none of whom had been in a lounge before.

Logically, though, it would be better to do 2 plus 3, surely, paying for 1 person? Otherwise someone is on their own!
Well, I've lounge hopped before (5 mins in here, don't like it, move next door) without any issues. I guess i'll just ask when I get there and see what happens. BHX is far from the worst place in the world to wait for an hour. I wanted to avoid paying for anyone as (as much as I enjoy lounges) they're rarely worth the money (especially 3rd party ones in regional airports). Free/included access is one thing, paying £17.50 to have a glass of wine & a bag of crisps 20 mins before boarding is quite another.
Anyway, thanks for your input! It's quite possible not all of them will want to the lounge anyway, and will perfer to shop. We'll see tomorrow.
