Extra continent
Just to clarify the point, if you have already gone North America-Asia then Australia, you would not get fined for an extra continent as you can pass through Asia twice if you are taking a flight such as BA 18.
If you had the coupons/sectors available, then you could always switch from the BA to the QF half of the aircraft for the second leg and get the extra status points if you need them. Very useful if you are (a) short on points for one card or (b) in possession of multiple 1W FF cards.
