One gold, priority for 7 ?
I believe that all pax on the same PNR have the priveliges of a gold member in the group. Can I reasonably take the remaining family of 6 incl 2 children into the priority boarding lane ( in the unlikely event that it makes much difference ) ?

I went to the Forst Wing to check in today. I'm gold, Mrs BF is brown, as is the eldest daughter, the youngest has no status. I was told very politely but clearly that we'd wouldn't have acces to First Wing security, which I never expected anyway. I wouldn't have assumed boarding priority for the whole family but as the youngest is three we took advantage of pre-boarding anyway.

The First wing is black and white - as it leads directly to the lounge it follows the lounge guesting policy (usually +1)
Priority boarding I don't even think officially allows a guest (I've read on here that Geneva has enforced this in the past)
Personally I've had no problem walking up with my +1 and handing over my BP and then lingering for them, but I wouldn't do this for more than one person personally

For comparison, 1 Gold on a PNR, irrespective of number of pax, lets everyone select seats for free so I would say this is a guideline. If you are not all on the same ticket you are pushing it.
