davetravels,

Also with hesitation, I report that have twice been admitted to the 2C arrivals lounge with my flimsy and battered gate-issued D1 non-rev BP EWR-CDG. The lack of a PNR that showed up in the agents' system caused them some concern, but after affirming that I was indeed flying 'en Affaires', they let me in.

YMMV

If your friend is in Y, he will not be admitted, as your paid D1 status does not allow any guests.

I am still working on the puzzle of whether I would be admitted from a Y flight on the basis of my SkyClub membership; the DL website says 'yes' but I have my doubts. DL has not responded to my email on the subject, so I may just have to test the hypothesis next winter.
