JBDS

I frequently travel between BNE and SYD and used Virgin flights booked direct, with my Air NZ Elite status I could use the lounge and quite often was allocated a seat in row 3. As I understand I won't be able to do this with Qantas. I fly into BNE from AKL every second week and often travel onto SYD however I can't book this via Air NZ as the days of my internal travel are not confirmed until after I have booked the AKL - BNE leg. Qantas membership for me perhaps...
