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!

The Van Gogh museum and Anne Frank's house. Are you freekin' kidding me? I'm off to drink beer, do bong hits and carouse the Red Light district not necessarily in that order.

But if my wife joins me then we'll look at canals, architecture, tulips and go shopping. Won't that be a lovely time?

Visiting the Netherlands is still part of my travel dream.
My husband and I would like to walk through the cities and breath in the atmosphere, sit outside and drink coffee and people watch, and see how our values are the same as the people of the Netherlands.

FRANK Oct 15th 2008 9:24PM

My spouse and I would take a long overdue vacation! To go to this beautiful city, which we have always wanted to visit,
would be a dream come true. Good luck to everyone who enters the contest!

What would I do with free tickets to Amsterdam, celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary 1 year late in combination with my 50th birthday.

Jonny Oct 15th 2008 9:32PM

I will use these tickets as a first stop on a nice little european tour.

FGB Oct 15th 2008 9:33PM

Happy Birthday! I would use the tickets to take my girl away on a much needed vacation! (And to Amsterdam... that would be awesome)

ryan Oct 15th 2008 9:38PM

I WOULD USE THE TICKETS TO GO ON A MUCH DESERVED VACATION WITH MY MOTHER. IM 24, SHE'S 55, WERE BOTH SINGLE AND HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT IN LIFE, ESPECIALLY THE PAST FEW YEARS. IT WOULD BE NICE TO JUST FORGET THINGS FOR A WHILE AND GO AWAY.WE'VE NEVER BEEN ON A VACATION TOGETHER. MY MOM HAS NEVER BEEN AWAY ANY TYPE OF VACATION AND THE ONLY TIME SHE'S EVER BEEN ON A PLANE WAS FOR HER FATHERS FUNERAL ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. NEITHER OF US HAVE EVER BEEN OVERSEAS NOR COULD AFFORD IT. IT WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL TO GET A PAIR OF TICKETS THAT WE WOULDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR, THEN THE MONEY WE WOULD HAVE TO SAVE FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP WOULD BE A LOT LESS.
THANK YOU :)

Remember the song, Amster, Amster, dam, dam, dam! Well, I would love to go and see the whole of Amsterdam!!

Steve Oct 15th 2008 10:30PM

I would like to look at the antique markets, attend auctions, maybe a coffee house.
Thanks

Rudiger Oct 15th 2008 9:59PM

My buddy and I would take a walking tour of famous doors!

Bob Mennell Oct 15th 2008 11:03PM

Sounds great!

Ken Stevens Oct 15th 2008 10:12PM

I would love to be able to take my wife on this trip to Amsterdam. We have spent most of our entire life working hard and took few vacations. It is on my "bucket list"!

Marsha Oct 15th 2008 10:17PM

I would love the opportunity to see a country that I have not been to yet.

Justin Oct 15th 2008 10:50PM

I would have a picnic in Vondel Park.

Tom Oct 16th 2008 9:59PM

I would go there and relax with my wife, smell the fresh air and be the most romantic husband I could be, because she is the love of my life.

Elizabeth Hurd Oct 15th 2008 10:44PM

My sister is correct we would laugh like we were 20 again and pee our pants like the mature woman we are...

I would use this free trip to reward my daughter in college. The cost of her education would never allow us to travel to Amsterdam. Her studies to be a high school teacher in New York will cost this single mom all my savings. Five years of college and a double major , I am so proud of her.
thanks for the chance
