Awesome: Tweet a Vine to Win a Ride on American Airlines' New 777 to London

March 1, 2013 at 11:27 AM | by | Comments (0)

Your assignment this weekend—should you chose to accept it—is to create a 6-second Vine and win a roundtrip flight to London from Dallas-Fort Worth on American Airlines' brand new Boeing 777-300ER.

Yes, you read that right. American Airlines is continuing the spread of their #newAmerican agenda and embracing the newest of new social media—Vine, the Twitter-owned 6-second video sharing app. We're a little shocked, in a good way, and you will be too when you find out that not only is this contest open to those 18 and over living in the contiguous 48 states, but also to entrants from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Have a look at the new AA 777-300ER to see why they're so excited.

How to enter (if you have an iPhone or iPad):
· Have a Twitter account. That's rule numero uno.
· Download the Vine app and sign up (if you haven't already)
· Make a 6-second Vine clip that tells why you deserve to go
· Be sure to publish that Vine with the #newAmerican hashtag and push it to Twitter
· Do so before 4pm CST on March 7, 2013.

How to enter (if you DON'T have an iPhone or iPad):
· Have a Twitter account. That's rule numero uno.
· Make a single TwitPic that shows why you deserve to go
· Be sure to include #newAmerican hashtag in your tweet and publish it to Twitter
· Do so before 4pm CST on March 7, 2013.

Though we still stand by our first impressions of the app, we're slowly coming around to see how it can be used to generate . Just posting Vines willy-nilly from our personal travels has already given us new Twitter followers and the first bits of community interaction that comes from a successful app. We're mostly enjoying how the lack of editing capability forces the creator to be extra crafty, with a clear vision for each Vine.

To be fair, this isn't the first Vine contest from an airline. Virgin America holds the title of first airline to embrace Vine, as their now-concluded #VXLongDistanceLove contest asked travelers to submit a Vine and win a romantic trip to Vegas. Besides American and Virgin America, other active airlines on Vine include Cathay Pacific (username: Cathay Pacific US) and Delta, with many more airlines having reserved their names on the app.
