This Halloween the UK’s third biggest airport and Virgin Atlantic will join forces for a suitably spooky social media giveaway, with a pair of flights to Orlando to be won.
Aptly named #TrickOrTweet the pair will be asking followers of @MANAirport to share the biggest tricks, or treats, they have played on their loved ones, friends, family members or colleagues by using the hashtag. At the end of the day on 31st October, the best will win return flights to America from Manchester.
In addition hourly spot prizes from Virgin Atlantic and Manchester Airport will also be given away. To win one of the hourly spot prizes, Manchester Airport will be issuing a series of questions about Halloween, the airport and Virgin Atlantic – in order to win, participants will have to guess whether it is a trick or a tweet.
Jeff Howarth, Marketing Director, Manchester Airports Group (MAG) said:
“Halloween is the second biggest celebration in the UK after Christmas and we couldn’t think of a better way to mark the occasion than to have a little ghoulish fun alongside Virgin Atlantic.
“The prize to the USA is incredible, where Halloween is done to the maximum. We’re delighted to be working with Virgin Atlantic who is committed to working with us on its long haul destinations, with direct flights to Orlando, Las Vegas and Barbados. Plus from March next year, Virgin will have direct flights to Atlanta, proving just how strong the Manchester market is for them.”
A Virgin Atlantic spokesperson said:
“This is a great way to celebrate Halloween with a trip to the US, where Halloween is huge. We are delighted to be supporting Manchester Airport with this innovative and exciting competition. We encourage all followers of @VirginAtlantic to join in to win one of the prizes.”
Orlando is known for thrill-seeking theme parks and scare attractions, making it the ‘spiritual’ home of Halloween and an adrenalin-junkie’s paradise. Manchester Airport has over 200 destinations, served by 65 airlines and is the global gateway for the North of the UK. Virgin Atlantic serves four destinations from Manchester and has been flying from there since 1996. Atlanta is a new destination for Virgin Atlantic from Manchester, which launches on 29th March 2015.
The competition kicks off on the morning of 31st October 2014, for more information see www.manchesterairport.co.uk/manweb.nsf/Content/TrickOrTweet
