Thanks
There is a thread here somewhere to find someone willing to guest but I couldn't find it.

I am not sure how you would find accommodating people to guest the other 2 siblings that would travel with you.
Not that I condone this nor is it worth risking but theoretically you could duplicate the same bp and use that at the automated gates?

If you're standing outside the lounge, asking everybody what status they have and what flight they're on, you'll probably annoy people so much that they'll call security.
Yes, but this does not apply to TK*G. This makes it a lot easier for OP."In accordance with the latest change made by Star Alliance on May 3, 2021, Gold card holders and their guests are required to fly together in the same aircraft. Guests of the Miles&Smiles Elite and Elite Plus card holders continue to use the Turkish Airlines lounges even if they fly with a different Star Alliance flight."
