CityJet's 'European Challenge' is a Barcode Scavenger Hunt for Free Flights

April 18, 2012 at 6:38 AM | by | Comments (0)

CityJet is known for their quick flights in and around Europe, as well as their ability to fly to and from some of the region’s more convenient airports—like London City Airport. Apparently the secret about the convenience of CityJet just hasn’t quite reached the masses yet, as the airline is looking to do a little promotion through a travel contest.

Of course social media is involved, so you’re going to need a fully charged smartphone to get in on the chance to win. It’s kind of like a real life scavenger hunt—but with electronic prizes—as the carrier has hidden a whole bunch of Quick Response codes at airports across their network. You’ve seen these fancy barcodes before, as you usually give them a scan to learn more information about something or even score a discount or a coupon. However, this time it’s more about finding, collecting, and registering them for a chance to win.

In total there’s about 18 of the high-tech do-dads that you’ll need to find, and of course there will be the chance to score some hints and share your findings through Facebook and Twitter. The person who has traveled the most make-believe miles will be declared the winner after the contest closes down on June 1, and the prizes include stuff like rugby tickets, free golf, or even some booze. However, the big prize is three round trip flights to and from anywhere you want to go—assuming CityJet flies there of course.

Don’t worry if you’re not the most traveled person, because there’s still one more chance for you to win. Apparently CityJet is keen on the social sharing aspect of the contest as well, so the person who ends up sharing the contest with the most friends will also be a big winner. No free flights of your choice here, but getting a trip to Dublin to take a spin in the airline’s flight simulator sounds pretty darn cool to us.
