My hobby is comping (entering lots of competitions) and last year I was very very lucky enough to win a Sky movies competition to this Oscars. Original prize was:
Pair of red carpet seats for the 87th Annual Academy Awards®, 2015
Return transfers from the winner’s home to London Heathrow Airport
Return flights to Los Angeles from London Heathrow
Return private transfers from the airport to the hotel
3 nights’ accommodation at the 4 star Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles
Full American Breakfast for two people in the hotel restaurant each morning
ESTA fees
Travel insurance
I didn't just want to go for that short time so we asked to extend the holiday (with us paying for extra hotels nights ect) which they happily agreed to.
So now we are flying out on 15/2 to Vegas spending a few days there before we make our way up to L.A on the Friday for the Oscars on the Sunday. We then fly home from L.A on the Wednesday.
Details of everything are just being sent - flights are B.A (AA flight to LAS) My face must of been such a picture when hubby told me.
It took me all of 5 mins to get a grip and remind myself how lucky and privileged I am to be going on this trip but I was genuinely sad that I wasn't flying with Virgin.
