is what we did, seeing as the queues for economy class were HUGE, and noone was standing in the queue for Super economy, it was 150 aus but they charge you in american dollar rates and we were off, no hassles and no waiting in line. ALSO make sure you ask for the passes to the premier lounge at the airport, they will only write them out for you if you ask, and its much nicer sitting in there than out in the airport, only hassle (if you could call it that), is AP normally fly (well to Melbourne anyway) from Gate 9 I think, and the Premier Lounge is all the way down the other end of the airport, still not too bad!!! We only returned about three weeks ago.
Good luck
