‘Best of China’ experience

QANTAS and China Eastern Airlines co-hosted 150 agents from around Australia at their ‘Best of China’ experience day in Sydney last week.

The event was held to celebrate QF and MU’s partnership and present China as an unrivalled destination to explore.

The day began at the Qantas Centre of Service Excellence, where agents were welcomed by traditional Chinese lion dancers and a spread of Chinese cuisine.

Frontline sellers then had the chance to sit in on presentations on the combined network, onboard and on-the-ground products, as well as support tools available to agents and destination training on China.

Participants were then taken out to the airport where two Qantas and China Eastern Airbus A330s were parked nose-to-nose (below) to be inspected.

During the day, agents had a chance to ‘snap it, tag it, win it’ to score one of three prizes of return flights for two to Shanghai including accom courtesy of the airlines and Shangri-La Hotels.

The day was wrapped up with sunset drinks at Qantas Campus.

Qantas head of agency partnerships & business events Rob Harrison said, “China is a really important and growing market...so we were pleased to provide a forum for our valued travel partners to dive deep into our partnership with China Eastern, making the proposition even easier for them to sell”.

Agents unable to attend can find more info on the presentations on the QF Learning Hub HERE.
