Stacking lounge access
 
I'm curious about this:

Let's say I'm flying in an airport with multiple lounges and I'm flying with 3 other people without status.

Can I use *G, United Club card, and Priority Pass all in one go?

At the same lounges? At different lounges? Or if I'm flying F/C?

I know United Club gives me two guest, but from what I understand that only applies to the United lounge and I am limited to one guest in other *A lounges.
Priority Pass is sometimes accepted. *G I can bring one guest and as with F/C ticket.

There is no combine access in order to guest in more people, it is either *G, or United club membership, or PP.

Also United Club membership will give you 2 guest domestically, international is 1 guest only even if you go to United Lounge.

The only way to do is bring one guest to A lounge, second guest to B lounge, third guest to C lounge.

It is the same as free checked luggage, you can't say you are *G and Explorer card holder so it combine together to check 4 pieces of luggage for free.

I don't understands why people try again and again rort the system... If people do not have status they should not be in the lounge. Full stop!!!

No, unfortunately not. You can't "stack" your cards to get multiple people in.

However, what I don't understand is what stops people from re-entering the lounge multiple times with a new guest, especially if the dragon decides not to say anything? There is no limit of times one can enter a lounge with a *G card, right?

Are you saying all the people you travel with have status or you don't travel with other people?

Because a lot of my friends don't have status and I can either stay in the lounge with them or we all stay outside.

Only if the lounge is so busy the dragon didn't notice, most non-US partners lounge will write down your information, how many guest, to even copying boarding passes of you and your guests.

As already explained, you can only have 1 guest.

When I travelled with my parents, since neither one of them want to be left alone outside waiting, I would go in by myself and bring food out for them.

I figured that much.

If I can bring someone in with *G and with my United Club access, why not?

I was just wondering if was something that can be done or not. I did not mean I to say I'm trying to game the system or whatnot.

Thanks for everyone for your replies.

I travel alone or with my wife who has the same status as I do. Also, we always travel in business or first, so the status actually does not matter that much :D
