Deal of the Week: Lufthansa’s Twitter Contest

Originally published in GPS.OutTraveler.com

Lufthansa German Airlines is celebrating the launch flight of its sixth A380 — the world’s largest aircraft – which is coming to New York’s JFK on Monday, February 28. The “Big Apple” is the very first U.S. destination for Lufthansa’s A380, and they want to share our excitement with New York area residents by giving away some tickets.

On one day only — Monday, February 28 — Lufthansa is sending 23 “crew members” into SoHo and only one real crew member will be holding a pair of roundtrip Business Class tickets to Europe. To find the official cabin crewmember holding the prize, follow @Lufthansa_USA on Twitter.com for clues (which begin on Feb. 25) on the crew’s whereabouts in SoHo. One needs to find 10 crew members before you’re led to the real one with the tickets.
