Oh dear …. Heathrow’s ‘Santa’s Christmas Take-Off Game’

If you are desperately in need of entertainment this Christmas, then Heathrow Airport has put up a silly game on its website!  You need to help an elf throw presents into Santa’s sleigh.

The link to play is here (deleted as now dead).

There are three prizes of Heathrow shopping vouchers (top prize £200) for the highest scores.

However, these competitions are generally won by an IT geek who knows how to rewrite the website code to rig the competition … there have been PLENTY of examples of this in similar travel competitions over the last year or so.  Priority Club even had to pull a promotion entirely last year due to abuse.

As a way of passing 2 minutes waiting  for a flight, though, it’s totally harmless …..
