WINED & DINED: Agents live it up at Qantas' first Chief Pilot Dinner

Qantas Learning Hub loves to reward loyal Agents; and ten Agents sure felt that love when they were wined, dined and put up in a luxury hotel for the inaugural Chief Pilot Dinner.

Qantas Learning Hub loves to reward loyal Agents; and ten Agents sure felt that love when they were wined, dined and put up in a luxury hotel for the inaugural Chief Pilot Dinner.

Out of all the Chief Pilots on the Learning Hub, ten lucky Agents were flown to Melbourne and booked into the city’s five-star Grand Hyatt Hotel.

On arrival, they were given goodie bags with Business Class pyjamas, a $50 Qantas wine voucher, a premium pen and a decadent Koko Black gift box (as served in Qantas Business Class).

They were also surprised with a complimentary Qantas lounge pass being loaded to each of their Frequent Flyer accounts. SCORE!

The Agents spent the afternoon floating around the hotel’s heated swimming pool and getting their zen on in the spa, while others went out to explore the city or go on a shopping spree.

They then met at Grand Hyatt‘s suave Ru-Co bar for pre-drinks in a private area before making their way to the famous Rockpool Bar & Grill for a sumptuous three-course meal in the private Highland Dining Room.

Wines included a Chardonnay, Riesling and Shiraz as served in Qantas’ Business Class and lounges.

At the end of dinner, they received another surprise, a Neil Perry ‘Simply Good Food’ cookbook each to take home.

The Agents were deeply appreciative of their experience.

“A heartfelt thank you for a wonderful weekend. It was so lovely to meet everyone and the hotel and dinner were divine.”

Chief Pilot Kristina of Marconi Travel also gave a big thank you to Qantas for an “absolutely amazing” time and a “superb dinner”.
