Doesn't QF already have a priority boarding lane??? All the flights that I have ever boarded (domestic and int) have had a separate J boarding lane; what more do you want? I presume this is always available for status. As for fast track for security, maybe I've been lucky but have never taken more than 5 min to get through security at any airport in Australia, so maybe QF doesn't provide it because it would be beneficial so rarely. Int departure at SYD "sometimes" has it, strangely enough (not quite sure why it comes and goes). As for next-gen checkin, pretty clear that most companies are going the cell phone barcode route, instead of RFID (which has lots of problems, sadly).
