VA plat / QF gold travel options to Europe

[PlutekPlutek]

Hi

i have a work trip coming up to Poland. I have to get myself from NTL or SYD to WAW. I am a VA plat and QF gold. Will be flying in economy as work policy is Y only. From SYD I can do one stop via DXB or 2 stops with SQ/LH via SIN/FRA or VA/EY/Air Berlin via AUH and TXL. Which of these options would be best from the point of view of status recognition/earn/lounge access etc. not too fussed about extra stops.

Cheers
L

In terms of lounges there shouldn't be any real differences swaying one way or the other.

As for status recognition I would have thought as a QF Gold you will be treated better on QF/EK than you would as a VA Gold on SQ.
