Two of us (Cardmember and wife) are flying in F (but I know that AS premium is nit listed as an entrance criterion) and 2 (brother and sis-in-law) in Y.

Does anyone have experiences with this lounge as far as rule-bending in a case like this? The flight is at 6:40AM, so this is not a big deal, but could be nice.

Cheers.
I would expect a firm NO, as the lounge will be giving you access for free, because AX won't reimburse. You may consider checking out Groupon, which has had periodic OAK lounge access promos. (There are time restrictions, typically limited to when the Euro flights depart later in the day.)
