Would You Drop Everything for a Free Mystery Trip?
I just saw Heineken’s Departure Roulette Campaign (HT: Ruthi K) where they offer airport travelers the chance to push a button and win a free trip. The only catch is that they have to abandon their current plans and leave immediately.
I’m not sure what I do. I’m spontaneous and love free trips. But questions like — what airline are they flying? Is it in economy? Would I earn airline miles? immediately popped into my head.
Because usually when I’m in the airport, I am headed somewhere cool like the west coast or Easter Island, or I’m flying because I need the airline miles for status, like this weekend. So I decided I’d need to know if the seats were in economy, if I could earn status miles for it, and what the range of destinations included before I’d push the button.
Because I definitely wouldn’t want to give up a great destination for a lesser one. (Any of the destinations that appeared would have been totally cool with me).
On a separate note, do enough people actually travel with their passports to make this possible?
So if you were asked to play Heineken’s Departure Roulette would you do it?

This would be so cool!! I would love to be stopped by them–I would like to think I would take the opportunity, but I guess it would depend on where I was heading. I don’t know if I could miss the family weddings this summer and I’m not sure if I would still have a job if it would cause me to go over vacation…it would be so tempting though!!
