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!

I've been to Amsterdam once! and for only 24 hours! It was the best experience of my life! Wish I could go there for more than a day tho!

I would give my brother and his wife the tickets. They have not had a vaccation in 20 years. They have struggled to put their two boys through college and just recently lost their home . My sister in law also found out that she has cancer this year so I would really like to do something special for them.

Both my wife and I are disabled and unable to fly coach. This would be a blessing for us. Thanking you in advance.

Happy Birthday! I would also like to see the tulips in bloom in Holland and travel throughout Europe. I haven't been to Ireland, Scotland, or seen the real castle in Germany that the
Disney Castle in Magic Kingdom was modeled after. I am taking Spanish lessons now so I would like to practice my Spanish in Barcelona. I had a student from Madrid stay with us for two summers so I might go to Madrid to visit the family.

I hope I win! It would be fun!

Cheryl Oct 15th 2008 7:47PM

I would love to be able to take my best friend on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Amsterdam - sightsee, eat, drink & be merry! Sounds luxurious!!!!!

Sue Oct 15th 2008 7:47PM

I would take a friend and experience amsterdam for what it's famous for! ;)

I'd go and visit my family, whom I have not seen since I was 10 years old. They live in the Northern part of The Netherlands. It would be so great to see them again.

Sarah Oct 15th 2008 8:02PM

Starting with the exquisite service that OpenSkies has to offer, I would sit back and relax and allow myself to be pampered and absorb in flight luxury like I have never enjoyed before. After arriving in Amsterdam, I'd continue on my voyage to absorb and enjoy as much of it as I possibly could before returning to the hussle and bussle of ordinary life in the great ole USA.

JOHN Oct 15th 2008 8:03PM

I would plan a vacation as soon as I found out I won.
I would do it very soon.

kathy rogers Oct 15th 2008 8:07PM

I would take my sister on a trip of a lifetime and we would giggle like we were 20 again.

don thomas Oct 15th 2008 8:17PM

I've never been to Europe and would love to visit Amsterdam and take in al the sights and sounds and culture and have something to brag to my co-workers who travel to exotic places. Revenge is sweet!:)

Greeting,

If I am the very fortunate person to win two free roundtrip ticket to Amsterdam celebrating your 4th year of exceptional service, I would take my aged mother who has alway wanted to visit this beautiful country. We had tickets to visit in 1998 but was unable to go due to medical reasons at the time, she is now healthy and ready to travel and enjoy all the wonders of Amsterdam.

Best regards,

Brenda Henderson

Free tickets to Amsterdam would be the perfect trip for my best friend and I after graduating high school. That would be the first stop on a brief tour of Europe the summer before college.
