Centurion Lounge guest rules [Consolidated]
I'm excited to visit the lounge at SFO this weekend. I'd like to arrive an hour or so before my guest is planning to arrive. Will they let her in?

Usually what I do is to tell the receptionist at the lounge entrance that my guest is arriving later and give them their name.

If you and your guest both have mobile phones, wouldn't you go to the club entrance to greet her?

This is what I was thinking. If the receptionist is being difficult for whatever reason, just "leave" and come back in with your guest. It's not like there is a daily limit on visits to a Centurion Lounge.

For sure. I just didn't know if I would be allowed to add her after I enter alone.

See here:

What is the guest policy?
Centurion® Members and Platinum Card® Members who receive complimentary access may enter with up to two guests or your immediate family (spouse or domestic partner, and children under 18) at no additional charge.

If you purchase a one-day pass, your children under 18 may accompany you at no additional charge. You must purchase a one-day pass for any additional guests.

Can I enter with guest A and guest B, stay for an hour, exit with guest A and guest B, and then re-enter a minute later with guest B and guest C?

I don't think so.. They'll see you already checked in with 2 guests. Whether you can convince them otherwise, I'm not sure.

I think that the gate keepers will be more willing to let a 2.5 year old slide than a 12 year old. But you never know who you will get at the desk.

Centurion Lounge Guest Flight Requirements?
Does the guest also need to have a flight within 3 hours, and produce a boarding pass to that effect?

Thx....
