So the dude who got all 5 kids + his wife + two grandmas in this weekend technically wasn't supposed to be there????

Everyone but the grandmas was legit, unless he paid extra for them.

You will be very lucky if you are allowed to guest more than two people. (who aren't your immediate family)

I tried to guest my two brothers and my then girlfriend into IAH C South, no dice. But thanks to a kind FT member who allowed me to have one of their guest passes.

Looks like Grandma (and there may have been another person as well) got a free ride. Myself and the gentleman checked in at the same time - he stepped up to the counter right before me. His rather large family was off to the side but closer to me than him. My agent asked who I was guesting (guessing due to the families proximity to me). I said no one and went upon my business. He stepped away from the counter about 4 seconds after me and the family followed him. They all got in from what I could tell.

I think it depends on the club and the customer. If you are well known at the club, then the staff tends to be more lenient with you and flexible with the number of guests you are bringing in. When I was in CPH flying BF with my wife back to EWR, my two adult children were in the back of the plane, without any status, but CO let me bring them into the non-ST club when technically only my wife and I would have been permitted. So, I do think that it really depends on the staff running the show at the time you show up.

Hope I don't get flamed for asking this question, but is it possible to guest 2 people into the PC, then leave for about 5-10 min (the 2 guests just stay in the PC) and then come back to guest another person? The reason I'm asking this is because I'm traveling with 3 other people and would like for all of us to get in to the PC.

So pay the $25 that it costs to get an extra guest in rather than try to cheat the system. :rolleyes:

I sure hope the Octomom isn't a PC member... Can you imagine her bringing her 14 children? :D

It's possible, but it's also possible I'll hit the lotto tomorrow as well. How more clear could this thread be for you to understand what you can and can not do.

It's also possible for you to run into the Club when the doors open and try to hide in the restroom. People who ask redundantly stupid questions are asking for rude answers.

To reply: I certainly hope not.
The check in computer will indicate that you brought guests.

To add:
Recently, I met a co-worker at a PClub (guest-ed him in).

I had an earlier departing flight than my co-worker/guest did and when I left the gate agent asked about my guest.

The only reason the guest got to stay while I departed is that the other agent knows me by name/sight and said it was okay.

Please don't cheat the system!!! Those of us that pay for the membership end up with a crowded club. We joined the club to get away from the masses to work, make phone calls, etc.
