However, I am wondering if my wife and I are traveling with my two parents - will they allow my parents in?
Parents are "immediate family" according to the widely accepted wikipedia definition:
"The immediate family is a defined group of relations, used in rules or laws to determine which members of a person's family are affected by those rules. It normally includes a person's parents, spouses, siblings, children."
However, the Admirals terms do not mention parents or siblings, so I am worried about if I will be able to bring in 3 people.
If anybody has any recent 2016 experiences they can share, it would be much appreciated. ^
Forget about Wikipedia definitions. All that matters is AA's definition of immediate family, which is spouse/partner or children under 18. So by the rules your parents won't be able to come in.
However, in practice, this always depends on which club, how busy is it, if the AAgent is in a good mood, etc. etc. I certainly have accessed various ACs several times over the years with 3 guests. So I would certainly try, but don't be upset if they say no.
