Pretty much next to 0 chance you'd get given a Audi Q7 (J5 class) as an upgrade, so if you're wanting that model I would go and book it, or ask what the upgrade rate is at the desk. The premium full size is actually a Group D (Toyota Camry), so anything chosen bigger than that is a luck draw...

I've just updated the app, looks good - heaps faster then the old app! Hopefully it removes the bug when the flight gets delayed and the mobile BP disappears (seems to be only impacting those who use a corporate TA, but causes pandemonium on the MEL-SYD shuttle)

Keep you eye out for reward seats available, the little purple box below the flights (eg: second option) that shows a rewards seat vs points & pay. Etihad, Qatar and Singapore Airlines are the usual common VA options to Europe. Availability is limited so good luck!

Ironically sat next to Aston on a VA J flight from ADL-SYD recently. The crew welcomed him back as a VIP which was awkward as he had no idea what she was talking about and he still got his lunch order placed after me as a VA plat 😇

Just be mindful that Sixt is actually off-airport in Auckland so you'll need to catch a shuttle bus to the location.

Pardon the dumb question. With a QFF award to avoid the 6k penalty p/pax of cancelling can you call up (shudder) and change the reservation even if it's the origin/destination? eg: SYD-SIN replaced with HKG-SYD or does that still need to be cancelled and rebooked?

It's a good idea, just make sure to either put an international flight number into your reservation or make some comments to flag the team to know to have a vehicle at INT - just as car rental operators haven't seen big rental numbers out of that terminal post COVID, so have kept minimal...
