SkyClubs and Guests
The site says family (spouse or partner) and children or 2 guests.
I asked the desk about this but they used the same language. Dose anyone have an experience bringing in multiple guests?
I am traveling with my wife, friend and two family members.
Thanks!

1) you, your spouse and your children under 21
OR
2)two guests.
There is a possibility that a nice lounge agent MIGHT let you slide one extra person in, but I certainly wouldn't count on it. However, if your friend and family members are all over 21, then you would be asking for three extra people. That, most likely, will not be considered. Some alternatives would be if one of them has a Plat AMEX (not the SkyMiles AMEX), find some lounge passes, or buy them a day pass.

I was able to get wife, mother and father on my SC and PM. One guest allowed as a PM and two guest allowed as SC(NW/WC) life member.
I also have been able to get son(21+) into SC/WC when travelling as family of 5 depending on the mood of the gatekeeper.

Since when does PM status mean anything with regard to taking guests into Sky Clubs? This is not a PM benefit. Medallion status is not mentioned anywhere in the SC rules except for the membership rates and the (soon to be) benefit that DMs will get complimentary membership.

SkyTeam lounge access is a PM benefit when traveling on an international ticket. See the information under "Additional Platinum Member Benefits" on the SkyTeam benefits page:

Just do not claim the guests as friends... They are family. Seems very odd that you can bring in only two guests but the Brady Bunch is allowed in with no questions asked. Why not make the rules TWO GUESTS PERIOD.. no matter if they or 5 or 50 years old....
