Access has been reinstated. I just got into the BNE lounge after arriving from Cairns. Details taken for contact tracing and all good to go. The ladies explained that it has been back since the beginning of this week

I don't think you can delay it Do SYD-OOL one way in business and one way in economy (full fare), it'll give you 80 credits. Using promo codes floating around you can get 10% off the fare, it works out not terribly expensive

re: Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion yes, they always ask for a copy of the passport page the second thing is just bad English, what they want is screenshots showing that seats are available online when booked separately but not available when the two sectors are pieced together...

No, you can't

2 awards - Australia to Middle East + Middle East to Europe

yes, the highest booking class award is charged for mixed class bookings

Qatar is fine, it's one award, it does not matter if its a same class of mixed class. QF1/2/9/10 are obviously fine too. Anything else is 2 awards.

yes, buying miles is an activity. You can buy the minimum amount of 1000 and extend their life or you can do free e-surveys and transfer to AA, it'll take you several surveys to get the minimum 2000 points = 500 AA miles and you can transfer the 500 miles to your account and thus will solve...

re: Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion on that though not exactly related to LM - I had a SFO-AKL-SYD booking on United with United miles, I was not contacted at all by United when the flight got cancelled. No problem though in being rebooked on Air NZ although a day prior (no 2 J...

Can't buy more than 60k a year - he'd have to wait for quite a while

If you happen to have an AMEX VA platinum card - use the offer of a discounted 2 for 1 business fare? I think it's not much cheaper but may be an option
