Pilots are typically known for having ice in their veins, but in this case it turns out that a pilot would have ice on his head, down his back, all over his uniform and down into his shoes.
Lufthansa Cargo’s Captain Wolfgang Raebiger, who flies the MD-11F around the world accepted the challenge and subjected himself to a ‘delibrately’ slow pour of ice water that had been stored on dry ice. Apparently Capt. Raebiger lost a spirited game of Rock – Paper – Scissor but being a great sport, thoroughly enjoyed his icy prize:
I’m not sure if the tickets cover only one day of the tournament or the entire event as those details were not made clear in the terms and conditions of the contest. I would assume they cover all 4 days but don’t hold me to it!
Your entry requires you to answer a ‘skills’ question in order to be eligible. The question in this case is “How many hours in advance can you reserve a seat on you SWISS flight?”….Hint, the answer starts with a 4!
The contest is for tickets to the tournament only and does not include airfare or accomodation.
On occasion Lufthansa will launch a weekend sale where they allocate a specific number of tickets at great discounts for travel within Europe. The latest version of this sale starts this Friday and lasts only until Sunday. The sale covers departures from October to December while return trips need to take place between October 2, 2014 and March 31, 2015. Since the fare sale is not yet loaded into the system, I have no way of knowing if the Christmas Holiday period is blacked out from this fare sale but I assume that it will be.
The fares run anywhere from €99 to €139 but the majority that I’ve seen have been on the lower end of this range. As far as T&Cs are concerned, the minimum stay is 1 night for intra-Germany travel. If traveling between European countries, either a minimum of a 3 day stay is required OR a Friday night OR a Saturday night stay instead. These rules make it easy to take advantage of the fares for a great weekend away from home!
