I don’t believe this is in the spirit of AC’s policy allowing Z1 to extend their boarding privileges to their immediate travelling companions.
IMO it should be limited to those travelling on the same PNR.
The policy matches the lounge access policy, which I agree with.
Aeroplan or Star Alliance members may invite immediate family members (including spouse, common-law, same sex partner and dependent children) and one travel companion to board with them even if not travelling on the same reservation.
