this sucks. I suspect the call to AC will be a fun one unless anyone has some advice?
VA does not have "“premium economy".
You probably booked “economy X". An economy seat with more leg room.

QF business class will be better than VA economy X.

For domestic to international 01:45 in BNE is tight. Little margin for delay.
Is a difference between MCT minimum connection time and SCT sensible connection time.
