Given the chance, most people would love to just drop everything and go on a holiday. The reality is we can’t travel on a whim. No time, lack of money or work commitments – these are just some of the reasons that are standing in our way.
Recently, airline Jetstar did a survey with over 1,200 respondents in Singapore and found that 96% of those surveyed wished they had done more leisure travel last year. Even more surprising is that many have not been to some of the well-known destinations near Singapore – over 59% have not stepped onto Bali before and 86% have not visited Siem Reap.
So, Jetstar decided to help Singapore residents ditch their inhibitions with their new #FridayFREEFlights campaign by giving away all-inclusive weekend trips (flights, accommodation and even airport transfers) to lucky social media fans. Yes, free travel!
Here’s how how you can win:
#FridayFREEFlights passport selfie competition
If you live in Singapore, you stand to win an instant weekend getaway to a surprise destination in Asia. Simply upload a selfie with your passport on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. Include a caption stating where you’d rather be with the hashtag #Friday FreeFlights and #JetstarBecauseYouCan and tag Jetstar with the relevant social media account. For example, “I’d rather be on a beach in Bali than at home watching TV. #FridayFREEFlights #JetstarBecauseYouCan”.
One winner will be selected from the day’s contest period of 12am – 2pm every Friday. The winner will be notified by 2.30pm, and picked from home or office and driven straight to Changi Airport for the flight.
If you are not living in Singapore, fret not. Participants based in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines stand to win two flight tickets to Singapore, which can be taken at their own leisure.
The contest runs every Friday for five weeks from 16 October to 13 November 2015, thereafter on the last Friday of every month till May 2016.
So what are you waiting for?
