Happy Birthday Gadling! Win free premium tickets to Amsterdam on OpenSkies!

by Grant Martin (RSS feed) on Oct 7th 2008 at 10:00AM

Can you believe it? As of this week it's been four years since Gadling was born. We're proud and honored to have become one of the world's largest travel blogs, and to celebrate our birthday we're giving away a pair of round trip tickets to Amsterdam on the newest premium carrier, OpenSkies.

If you haven't heard the buzz about OpenSkies, they're the new premium carrier flying from the east coast into Europe. Earlier this year they launched their first route between JFK and Paris, and as of October 15th they're starting their second route from JFK into Amsterdam. You might be one of the lucky pair to try out this new route.

These aren't just everyday tickets either. You'll be flying in Prem+, OpenSkies' signature upper class service where you'll enjoy wide, leather seats, a comfy cabin and exquisite service all of the way across the Atlantic Ocean. Curious about how pampered you'll be? Gadling got to fly on one of the first flights to Paris and got to experience the pomp first hand. Check out our review!

Sounds pretty sweet, doesn't it? If you can think of a great reason that you could use a free pair of tickets to Amsterdam, leave a comment below telling us what you'll do with your tickets and we'll randomly pick a lucky winner this Friday.

Good luck, and happy travels from Gadling and OpenSkies!

If I could go to Amsterdam for free I would use at as the initial stop on a whirlwind tour of Europe that would include forays to Southern France, Italy, and Greece. I'd probably try to go in February when the weather in Michigan is miserable.

Will enjoy some coffee and relax!

Wow! I would love to be in Amsterdam in the spring. Tulips, Heineken, Vaallmasse Fries w/Mayo, relaxing in Vondelpark. Yes!

Amsterdam...I have never been. Just being able to get out of the country and experience the life of another will be exciting.

I will take those two tickets and take my girlfriend and EXPERIENCE LIFE, CULTURE, and LOVE! I graduate college with a bachelors in History in December, and I have never been able to see Europe, the continent I've had the pleasure to read so much about, but never set foot on. My birthday is October 15, 1986! it would be a great birthday/graduation present!

I would like to take my wife on this trip because I was unable to take her anywhere for our 50th wedding anniversary.

Lindsey Oct 15th 2008 12:29PM

I would use the ticket as a starting point for my backpack trip through Europe

Colleen Oct 16th 2008 11:08PM

I love Europe...I would love to go to Amsterdam and ride a bike through the city and catch all the historic sites

Dick Oct 16th 2008 6:04AM

Wow ... just think I would walk as much as I could to take in the view of this great old city

Leanne Bradley Oct 17th 2008 6:59AM

What would I do with the tickets to Amsterdam? Go to Amsterdam!!! :)

Michael Oct 7th 2008 10:20AM

I would retrace my steps from the magical spring break I had there years ago. Coffee shops, museums, trams! Such a fun time :)

Jeff Oct 7th 2008 2:50PM

I'd enjoy a much needed vacation!

As a matter of fact, this is the only way I could afford a vacation now thanks to the financiapocolypse. :-/

Happy Birthday, Gadling! :)

Oh, what I wouldn't do for a couple of Open Skies tickets to Amsterdam! Despite our intense love for travel, my husband and I have never been to either New York City OR Amsterdam, so we'd use the tickets to make a connection for 1/2 of a fabulous trip! :)
