Qantas Extends Olive Branch to Hobart Flyer

[kangarooflyer88]

I was browsing the QFF app today and noticed that there is now a section which highlights all of the benefits, one of which now includes a free wine tasting session at the Museum on Art in Hobart (also available for Gold and Silver members along with Platinum One). There are also some discounts for all QFF members. Lastly for those who hold P1 there is also a free bottle of wine, glass of wine and upgrade on a Hobart area ferry:

This seems like a new benefit for me and makes me wonder if it is a recognition by Qantas of the service failings at HBA

Not that new. It was included in the August Platinum email.

Looking at archive.org, the MONA benefits have been available since at least Dec 2022.

That will teach me not to read the platinum newsletter.

Amusing that WP and PS get exactly the same benefits. Qantas really going all out there for their premium flyers.

P1 have had extra benefits with MONA for years now. I think it's a nice thing if they're widening the offering tbh.

Not all of us get QF's WP or P1 newsletters.

Benefits at MOMA are great, but I think the only thing that will satisfy AFFers is an upgrade of the HBA lounge.

Think this may have ended as all references have gone.

I've come here because I've noticed it on the App, no mention online anywhere that I can find.

Its there on my App as a plat, but when I click on it, it goes to the general "Status from flying' page. So

Some lowly bronze took MONA to court citing discrimination against people with no status. Rather than letting the riff raff in, MONA just closed it down....

They just won the appeal! But the Picassos were fakes anyway.

Here’s the reasoning

Personally they should have banned the Orange Juice drinkers. They’re just awfully good people

 

[RooFlyer]

Here’s the reasoning

In order to counter discrimination, you have to discriminate. Hobart throws it back to 1984.

War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength

Not only that, Picasso himself has never ingratiated himself to the feminist movement. Oh the irony

The appeal won, but the case sentback down to the TASCAT for reconsideration...

Now had this been someone’s private residence they are within their rights to be picky about who’s let in

And had there been a sporting event and participants are aged 13 and over, then they can knock their socks Orf and make it gender exclusive.

So next steps …

They were already all over this:
