I plan to fly 3-4 times in Economy Class this year from Australia to Europe and not sure which program to join. I think the most beneficial part of a Frequent Flyer program for me is to achieve Gold Status as soon as possible so that I can use the lounges. Otherwise, I will just be using my points to cash in for flights.

Suggestions welcome!!

Thank you in advance,

Being based in Australia, why not achieve WP status with Qantas (quite easy) and then get comped to BD *G? Then you have status on Oneworld and *A Then you get domestic lounge access everywhere in aussie too. *A has very minimal presence domestically in Australia sadly
