As I understand I can guest in my wife, my 4 year old child (two guests in total), and infants (seated on lap) don't count as an adult guest (so in theory, I could bring in an infinite number) - is that correct?
I'm back at HKG next week, same guests, same lounge, so I'll get ready for more fun and games in the opposite direction. Printout at the ready.
CX are 100% aware of lounge access rules and access based on status. No need for a print out of the rules. Although based on your status you should get a lounge invite automatically if connecting or originating on CX.
Maybe they were concerned about capacity.
