So will QF in Melbourne be able to issue my BA boarding pass? I'm on paper tickets. Secondly what lounges does one have access to as non-status flying on BA J tickets. At SFO, LHR, SIN, SYD? And which ones if there is a choice are the best?</font>
Without OW status you only have access to the lounge of the airline that you are flying, so you have Terraces or J lounge access. Luckily BA has such a lounge at each of those locations. And your choice is easy, there is one to pick from.
All OW airlines are able to issue boarding passes for other OW segments within the next 24 hours. So QF is able to issue your BA J boarding pass ... but QF in MEL has always been problematic with this and I'm betting they won't (giving you a story about the link being down presently). Having paper tickets makes it easier (it is the e-tickets which are harder to share!).
