Both tickets are confirmed w miles but separate reservations. Any chance of hassle with QF before leaving SYD? Wondering if a $30 visa would be the way to go? Plenty of time to handle that as travel isn't until Dec.
Even with Irish passport, she gets TWOV for 24 hours (just not the 48 hours) and can leave the airport during that time period. Must show QF the separate reservation/ticket showing the onward travel meeting the conforming 24 hour limit. Also show Chinese immigration on landing in PVG.
