Definitely a little there if you are flexible but you may only find one-way. Use QF to search and you can see the F pretty easily. Using AS JL F gets hidden behind something else (60k) on the calendar. From ORD I picked out a few JL F, 3/2, 3/10, 6/2, 9/1, 11/10, 11/24, 12/4, 12/8

I have enough miles that 10K is worth the difference between between F/J for a 15 hour flight. 10K points costs under $300 so i would even buy the miles if I had to.

Yes, say you were on an award where AS leg is in F and only Y is available on CX, you would pay at least the business class price. Right now AA for example charges F price and QF charges business.

Yes, I believe you can. At least I was able to under similar circumstance last summer.

I found some from Europe but seems like there is no way to connect to Australasia from EU using AS

Same day for sure. Someone mentioned next day if under 24 hours but I'm not familiar with that. My last award during my stopover in HKG on the way to BNE, i booked a separate same day ticket in economy for side trip to TPE. After spending a few hours in the city i went to the F lounge showing both inbound and outbound boarding passes.

No, award was BOS-HKG (stopover) HKG-BNE. I paid cash for the side trip through Expedia. I've been to HKG enough times on AS awards so I booked the cheapest cash ticket i could find to another country with departure the same day I arrived. Another thread told me separate tickets didn't make a difference so that was my goal. No problem accessing the lounge.
