AUSTRIAN is running a fantastic contest to celebrate their ‘Tashcerl’ amenity kit that is available on Austrian long haul flights. The contest is available through their Facebook website and is easy to enter.
Basically, AUSTRIAN’s Facebook visitors will enter the contest and vote for one of 3 destinations: New York, Ibiza or Bangkok. When the contest ends, a winner will be selected and will be awarded 2 Economy Class tickets to the destination that received the highest vote count. If you are reading this in the USA, here is a hint – don’t vote for New York! 🙂 Vote for something far more exciting and exotic!
Vote for your favorite destination, you may end up winning a trip to it! 🙂
In addition to the Grand Prize, 50 other winners will win an authentic Austrian Tascherl amenity kit.
The contest will run until April 13, 2014 with the winner being announced on April 16, 2014.
As far as participation rules are concerned, the contest is open to everyone EXCEPT those living in France or Italy.

EDIT: Initially I wrote about Business Fare deals only to Italy, but after looking at more options, other European destinations such as Paris and London have similar deals available!
EDIT 2: This is not a Fare error situation. The fares are valid as long as seats are available.
This certainly looks to be a fantastic but short term offer, but for the time being you can book BUSINESS CLASS travel on Lufthansa from the USA to several cities in EUROPE for only $1500 R/T. This is about 25-30% of what the normal Business Class fare would be between the US and Italy. It’s almost like getting Business Class for the price of economy!
When pricing like this happens, it may be very short lived so you may want to take advantage of the deals in the next few hours. Looking at sample bookings, available is fairly wide open from late June through early August and a variety of cities in Europe seem to be eligible, including Paris, Rome, Venice, London and others.
Let me know if you have any luck taking advantage of some excellent pricing! It looks like booking is also possible Swiss, Austrian, Brussels, United and Air Canada.
Looks like a 60 day advance ticket purchase is required as well as a Saturday or Sunday night stay.
H/T – Pat with a bunch of #’s!
