Hi all, just a quick question on how to approach the following; any advice is appreaciated.

So, I'll be doing a lot of domestic travel in AU for work reasons, and I would like to get tona point where can I join a lounge bwfore flying adding my partner and my son as guest.

Also, given I am from Europe every 3 years on average we may fly to Europe to visit my family; and in between that tbere may be some holidays overseas.

What would be the best/quickest way to reach a status/level where I can access the lounge as a minimum benefit (other benefits are welcome of course).

Also, is it better to gonQuantas or Virgin? I can choose any flight I want and I have a feeling Virgin is overall cheaper for domestic flight to asia, but if Ibwantnto have benefits when Ibam going back home to Europe, I have a feeling Quantas may be a better choice cause they reacj Europe better.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
