Any way for SE to get more lounge passes for in-laws on upcoming trip?
Searched a bit and this seemed the best thread to ask, but if it should be moved, let me know.
So being SE, I have no need for passes, so always just give them away to people traveling, however now I decided to take my in-laws to Vegas in a couple of months, and we will have a long layover in YYZ on the way back. My wife and son can come with me, but not them - correct?
My question is, other than buying them with cash (could they even do that with an award ticket?), is there a way to get more passes? I'm already SE for next year, so would there be any chance to get next year passes early? Can I use points to buy some (looked but didn't see anywhere to do that) ?

they are cheap on kijiji
I'd be curious to know how many of these passes actually get used, I feel most must be thrown away/expired.

At no more than $36 for each additional guest (see: https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/...f-lounges.html ),I'd personally not bother chasing a free pass.
Or you could try and claim them as dependent children.

Access problem was solved, though, when MrsITAG became SuperElite a few years ago.
