To celebrate 10 years of flights from London City Airport, British Airways is giving you a plane – yes, a whole plane (a little Embraer) – to fly to Stockholm!

Via the London Evening Standard – see here for the details (deleted as link now dead) – you have the chance to get together a group of 50 people for a trip to Scandinavia.

All 50 people also get a 2 night hotel stay thrown in – and a trip to the Abba museum (!).

Sun-Air

You must travel 9th May to 11th May.  If you want to go on your own and have the rest of the plane to yourself, that also seems to be OK ….

The closing time is midnight on April 1st.

Five more similar competitions are promised for the coming weeks, I will keep you informed.
