All federal, state, and local rules and regulations apply.

For purposes of this Sweepstakes, an Entry is received online when the Sponsor’s server records the Entry information. Proof of sending (such as an automated computer receipt confirming Entry or "thanks for entering" message) does not constitute proof of actual receipt of an Entry for purposes of this Sweepstakes.

Random drawing will be conducted by the Sponsor. Decisions of Sponsor shall be final and binding in all matters relating to this Sweepstakes. The potential Grand Prize Winner will be notified by email or telephone within two (2) business days of the random drawing.

Sponsor is not responsible for any failure of attempted delivery of notice using the above-referenced notification methods.

Potential Grand Prize Winner (or potential Grand Prize Winner’s parent or legal guardian if potential Grand Prize Winner is a Minor) will be required to execute and complete a Prize letter with requested flight details and an IRS W-9 form for U.S. residents, or any comparable form for Canadian residents, within seven (7) days of date of notification.

Potential Grand Prize Winner’s failure to return all required forms in this seven (7) day time period, or to comply with any other provision herein, may result in the potential Grand Prize Winner being disqualified and (time permitting) an alternate potential Grand Prize Winner may or may not be selected at Sponsor’s sole discretion.

If any prize notification or prize is returned as undeliverable for any reason, Sponsor may decide, in its sole discretion, to award such prize to an alternate eligible Entrant or if time does not permit (in Sponsor’s opinion) to not award such prize.

Acceptance of Grand Prize constitutes permission (except where prohibited) granted to Sponsor to use the Grand Prize Winner’s name, likeness, picture, voice, biographical information and statements for publicity, advertising, trade and promotional purposes in connection with the Sweepstakes in any and all media and manner, and by any and all means now known or hereafter devised in perpetuity worldwide without additional consideration, compensation or limitation of any kind, and without the need to get any further consent. Any and all such recordings shall at all times be owned by, and the exclusive property of, Sponsor.
