Sky Club Guests
I believe with my Platinum Amex i can take in two guests. I'm flying out of IND next week with my wife and elderly parents. What are the odds I'll be able to get in one extra?

Just bring in two guests for free, then pay for your additional guest with your AMEX Platinum. As long as you have your card linked to Delta, AMEX Platinum covers $200 of additional flight related expenses per year, including airport lounge access fees.

I have never tried more than 2, but lately agents have not been asking for the boarding passes of my guests. (DCA and ATL-E) You may be able to kindly ask the agent to allow the extra in. Also, the other suggestion of letting Amex reimburse you is a good one as well.
Also, oddly enough, since I also have the Amex Reserve, they no longer ask for my CC to scan. They used to always scan at least one of my cards.

Clarify which type of AMEX Platinum
I assume you are referring to a regular AMEX Platinum, not a Delta AMEX Platinum. Please clarify, as I have a Delta Platinum, and did not think that this allowed SC access.

The OP correctly stated the card that gets you access to the SC. You are correct that the Delta AMEX Platinum card does not.

Question regarding the SkyClub lounges (and the others for that matter).
I now have the Amex Plat charge card and get access, and me and the kids are gonna be in LGA next week... Ive never been in a lounge.... I understand they serve snacks, but can I order real food inside, like sandwiches. I saw there is an Eats Menu for the FLIGHT...but what about inside the lounge? Please advise, for both LGA, JFK, and Tampa airports. Thanks.

I know the JFK T2 SC you can order breakfast(but also serve complimentary continental breakfast). I've never been in the SC after breakfast so I'm not sure whether you can order lunch and dinner.

The bar and free wifi are nice as well. AA doesn't give you free wifi and they just started offering free drinks.
By the way, if you have the Amex Plat card, make sure you sign up for the new Priority Pass benefit. It gives you access to even more lounges (mainly international).

My wife and I are traveling in F/BE to TLV on Sunday, a route we often take. The first leg is LAX-ATL. We have two friends traveling with us on their own PNR in Y. I know we can get them into the SC in LAX with our two Amex Platinum cards... but how 'bout the international club in ATL?
