Well I was unable to check my baggage LAS-LAX-SYD as she could not short check to LAX and onto SYD

She could have checked the baggage to follow my intinerary as the CSR confirmed UA and VX have an interline agreement but thought that was not without risk so I will recheck with VX in SFO

On another point, the check in agent thought I would not be able to access the CO presidents Club without a RCC membership. However, i'm in there right now without any difficulty (just showed my LAX-SYD BP)
