She also sent a cheque, despite paying for it online, so I suspect the whole application may get rejected, unless they see sense and just rip up the cheque.

HMPO seeing sense! Ha! I am a cynic though, I did the fast track application three weeks ago and it only took four days, so if everything is ok, it should be quite straightforward.

that will go down well....I had to go at Xmas.
I feel like I was being punished for running out of passport pages...
DYKWIA is definitely threating his much better half.

Try to get a second British passport. Letter from your company should help. I was planning to get another one but I don't travel that much now and my 2 year old passport is only half full.

Worked out well :-)
Asked at checkin if could upgrade with miles and she offered to Op-up me if I left family in Y. tempting as it was, would have been longest 3 weeks of life in Australia. Offered to pay for 4 seats with miles, but she said if I bought 3 they would give me 1 free ;-)
Kids loved it - they in for shock tomorrow when 14 hours in Y to Brisbane as miles now exhausted.
