On a more serious note; even if the rule would be spouse and children only, I doubt you will barred from entering with your parents - unless you are asked for identification to match your boarding pass when entering the lounge (which has never occured to me) it so easy to circumvent the rule that it makes little sense to rigorously enforce it.
Good point, SK AAR. I like the way you're thinking with the solution, and I think it'll work perfectly. That's what I'll do. Thanks everyone! One more question, though, because I didn't get a clear answer on this: is the special entrance to the airport for elite members too? Or just elite plus? And the special lounge entrance? Thanks!
