    Aeroplan 50K Lounge access

    It does not matter. I have entered the Va lounge with the Va FF no. on my BP by showing my KrisFlyer Gold digital card....they just have to manually enter your KF no. so they can bill the appropriate airline, Singapore in ths example.

    Aeroplan 50K Lounge access

    That's not correct...showing your digital Aeroplan card with *A Gold status along with your Va BP (doesn't matter how it is booked) is all you need...you will have to go to the desk...they will scan your Va BP and then manually enter your Aeroplan number to bill Aeroplan / Air Canada.

    No middle name on MH flight issued by QF

    Sounds like a typical Chinese name with A being the Christian name, B the surname and C, D are the Chinese names. I have been told that Cx in partic want A,B,C,D on eticket. For most Western names the middle name is not necessary, only the first and surname.
