    Access to Heathrow lounge with complimentary pass

    from my research getting access to the T5 lounges will be a no-go I think he would have to try another terminal, and buy a single use lounge pass or possibly the Yotel there? How long is the stopover?

    Wizard or Amex?

    Its also more complicated than the 3% fee as each service will use their own rate to convert the foreign currency to AUD. So it will depend on that too :)

    Air Asia OOL-CHC on the cards.
