How much experience to aim for?

Many, many apologies if this has been done to death before - I have seen a similar post in the past but couldn't find anything when I searched.
I was simply curious to know what sort of flying experience it is best to accumulate if I am aiming for an airline job. I am currently at university, so I will have a couple of years before I apply to any scholarships or training organisations, and I will want to fly in that time. Should I just do the minimum to keep my PPL, or should I do things that involve flying with an instructor so that I don't begin to develop bad habits. I have already signed up for night flying at my flying school, assuming (perhaps wrongly) that this would be 'useful' experience. I have about 50 hours TT.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Ginge
