Vienna airport & DC Lounge

[dands]

Hello, I will be transit/departing from Vienna 3 times during our holiday in October with my wife & daughter (16).
I am new to this forum & I hoping I can obtain some information ASAP about general facilities at the airport and the Diners Club Lounge as we have 2x4 hour transits (one is after our 24 hour flight from Australia). After just discovering Diners Club has a lounge at Vienna airport I have applied for their card. However, need to pay for airline tickets & not sure if I can wait to receive my Diners Club card to do so. Have received conflicting information from DC Customer service about requirements / cost to use lounge facilities at Vienna Airport. Any comments would be appreciated but in particular would like to find out:
- must I purchase airline tickets with a DC Card to access their lounge free of charge?
- if I am the only DC card holder, are my wife and daughter charged to use the lounge, even I their tickets are purchased on my DC card?
- what facilities (food, drinks, internet & in particular are there showers) available at the DC Vienna lounge?
Thanks
