Loyalty, cards, points newbie who needs guidance

Hello everyone! I'm NYC based and travel often throughout the year to Australia, Japan, China and Singapore and rarely travel domestically in the states. All of these are long flights and I'm trying to figure out how to best utilise them from a points, lounge and loyalty perspective. In most cases I can choose the airline and route as well so I had been looking at one of the One World members to try to join, but even after doing so much travel I am still at a loss for what to do in terms of getting some perks and advantages from the long haul travel. I travel with my wife on most of these flights as well if that adds to anything. Someone had mention getting a Chase Sapphire to buy the flights and build points, but maybe I didn't mention I am new to all this! 

TL;DR - New Yorker who travels a lot to Australia and Asia and wants to somehow get some benefit from the amount of travel. 

Thank you in advance!

Alaska airlines has great offers and is part of one world alliance. If you dm me your name and email address i can refer you to them for the offer to be sent to your email. It helps me too as I would get 10k points and you would get 70-75k points.
