Ever Dreamed of Saying, 'Fuel the Jet?' American Airlines to Give Away An Entire Plane for a Weekend While Benefiting Miles For Kids In Need
Win a Weekend for 100 From O'Hare to Las Vegas, Miami, New York or Los Angeles
CHICAGO, Nov 05, 2003 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Just think of it: jetting off for the weekend with a whole planeload of friends to Las Vegas, Miami, New York or Los Angeles. American Airlines is offering some lucky Chicagoan the opportunity of a lifetime -- invite up to 99 friends and have the use of an entire plane from O'Hare International Airport to spend a weekend at one of those four destinations.
From Nov. 9-29, 2003, Chicagoland residents can enter the American Airlines "You, Your Friends and a Plane" Sweepstakes at www.aa.com/yourplane .
The sweepstakes also will benefit the Miles For Kids In Need® program. For every online entry, a donation of 25 AAdvantage® miles (up to 1 million miles) will be made to the charity, which provides free travel to ill children and their families.
"Chicago, we're taking the term 'more airline' to a whole new level," said Dan Garton, American's executive vice president-Marketing. "This really is the trip of a lifetime. For anyone who's ever dreamed of taking off in their own jet for a fabulous weekend with family and friends, this is the chance to win that fantasy. The use of an entire plane -- and a terrific choice of cities -- is all theirs.
"It's a great way to kick off the holiday season, and a wonderful opportunity to support 'Miles For Kids' in the important work it does."
The Miles For Kids In Need program was established in 1989 as a unique way for American and AAdvantage members to help seriously ill children through the AAdvantage Travel Awards program.
