Spot the error on the QF boarding sign

[Mattg]

Has anyone else noticed that Qantas has printed the oneworld ruby symbol onto its priority boarding signs at MEL?

Roo-bie mistake

Oh, do people look at those signs?

Qantas does not offer priority boarding to oneworld ruby on domestic flights.

Otherwise Silver should also be on that list.

Isn’t lowest priority / no priority the same thing?

In last years thread, it was surmised that Qantas mixed up the placement of check-in and boarding signs.

Priority / International Business check in for QFF Silver

My friend was just denied check-in in the business class queue at SYD International on Qantas - They lined up at the Business counter, but were denied by the staff at the desk despite being QFF Silver (OW Ruby). The staff referred to the signage for the line which said "Business - Platinum One...

Ruby has access to Business Class priority check-in, not to Business Class priority boarding.

It was a lame joke that Ruby is the bottom of the pile; lowest priority = no priority.

On that sign, the oneworld priority symbols match the QF status tiers listed, which include Silver.

Silver is not listed on the domestic priority boarding sign.

Some of these pole signs used to have Qantas Club, but that benefit has been removed over time.

It's an easy word to misspell and mispronounce. It looks like "removed", but we pronounce it "enhanced".

Aren't those cylinder poles MEL Airport issued? I swear they have the same design as the VA ones in T3.
