  Coach to LA?

  • Rob says:

    5 Sep5 September 08:46

    That would be a bit dull for HFP on its own ….

      Maybe on some other airline but skycouch on NZ probably worth trying for novelty value. NZ remain my favourite airl8ne. Loved their 744 business/first service to LAX which I did four times, sorry to see it replaced with 777, and also demise of HKG. My guess is your competition somehow tied up with All Blacks!

        It will be interesting to see how this fantastic competition, conceived over “lunch” with some New Zealand guys, turns out. 🙂 .

        Not rugby linked.

        But your first idea was interesting …

          Aha, so if a solo fly wins (s)he gets a double bed to themselves with an audience of 200+ envious onlookers.

  Round the world?

  • Rob says:

    5 Sep5 September 08:45

    Not that novel ….!

• Andrew says:

  Passenger on a delivery flight of a new plane?

  • Rob says:

    5 Sep5 September 08:44

    Not that novel either ….!

• Henry says:

  5 Sep5 September 07:53

  For UK residents only?

  • Rob says:

    5 Sep5 September 08:44

    Yes, as the UK marketing team is funding it

    • David says:

      5 Sep5 September 08:52

      Will the technical implementation still be such that you need to be located in the UK (in IP terms) at time of entry? Rather than the many UK HFP readers who find themselves elsewhere from time to time 😉

          Oh there are many ways to technically get around it. But it is the point of principle. Just require a verified UK address for service from the winner.

          I think it’s simply Raffles staying legal

        • David says:

          Cheekychappie – “staying legal” there is nothing “legal” forcing you to limit your competition to people in the UK.

        • cheekychappie says:

          Beg to disagree. Lots of countries see this sort of competition as a lottery and impose nasty rules/ penalties. There often has to be a level of skill required to satisfy the rules.

          As I said, million ways around it, which just goes to show how daft geo restriction is.

        • Rob says:

          6 Sep6 September 16:57

          For clarity – if you cannot prove UK residency to my satisfaction then you will not win! The prize involves you being in London anyway.

          There is flexibility in how I will define ‘UK resident’ but I want to avoid it being posted on Baidu and 3 million Chinese entering!

          As Air New Zealand does not fly to many (any?) other cities in Europe it is even more reasonable to restrict it than it was for the Qatar competition. And this is before we get into the legal issues.

    • Head for Points says:

      5 Sep5 September 14:04

      However, you will have THREE WEEKS to enter, so no need to panic if you’re away on Monday.

• David says:

  5 Sep5 September 08:54

  Anyway, changing the topic again, tell NZ to route to AKL via HKG again, or my first preference YVR.
  Won’t be going to LAX.

  • JQ says:

    5 Sep5 September 13:55

    Same feeling. But even if the US government didn’t want to force everyone else to do things their way they would still win on market size.

    + 1

  We fly to LA and get to star in our own film next to the Hollywood actor of our choosing?

  • Alan says:

    5 Sep5 September 09:25

    How about fly to LAX and have a role in their next safety video? 🙂

    • Peter K says:

      5 Sep5 September 09:26

      That’d be amazing 😀

      • Worzel says:

        5 Sep5 September 09:31

        …and hilarious if you were involved Peter-I’ve been a fan for many years! 🙂 .

        • Peter K says:

          5 Sep5 September 09:41

          As long as it doesn’t rain. I’ve got views when it starts spitting… 😉

        • Worzel says:

  We fly to LA but get to meet friendly US customs agents? Thought not…
