I'm sure that would also like to know who the lucky people are. ^

Me too

...also curious to know the total number of us who entered.

No joy for me either - I even checked my spam filter to make sure I didn't miss out on my congratulatory email. Oh well, at least now I'll have time next weekend to take advantage of the wealth of fabulous offers that I found in my spam - can't wait to try out all of the performance enhancements and many other goodies offered there! I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

PS - Randy, as thrilling as the alternative plan mentioned above sounds, I am still willing to give it all up if there are cancellations... ;)

No luck for me, was really looking forward to telling my director the story as to why I would be out next Thurs/Fri haha. Enjoy everyone who is going, looking forward to reading the stories and seeing the pics! I was thinking I'd just pay to go along for the sure to be interesting ride, but it looks like the fares for those days are very steep....

Didn't make the cut but still think this was a great effort between Randy and OpenSkies to help them launch service in style. Once FT knows all 20 spots have actually been confirmed, I have a room at the Westin Paris booked on C&P that I can release for someone else to (hopefully) claim....

Got my confirmation (Subject : FlyerTalk: 10th Anniversary OpenSkies Do (aka, free tickets to Paris)) at 2:41PM Eastern. :D:D

Thanks ^^ Randy !!

edit to add:

Now, If there was only a FT Forum to discover what the gambling/casino situation is in Paris --- and more specifically a suggested casino to play Baccarat and/or Chemin de Fer. ;);)

No luck here :(

Congrats to the winners :)

If there are cancellations, I could on short notice, graciously rise to the occasion and fill a seat that would otherwise go empty! ;)

Thank you, Randy!

I'm sure my dentist will be horribly disappointed when I cancel my appointment, but I won't be. :D

For those that won and haven't seen it yet, I've started a separate thread for planning possible group activities in Paris. If you'd like to join in, please consider posting there.:)

Would have loved to go...:(

I sent Randy a PM but got no reply :(

Yes, I had my system tell me the email address was invalid before I even sent it, thus I was not able to send it, even after 8 or so attempts. I attempted to send it at 1AM PDT on Thursday. Tried it from an email account I never use, and it didn't reject.

Wishing the winners safe and fun times on their winning trip.

after checking out the openskies website....

I must admit, I just love this paragraph on the website :


Premium service, world-class meal selections, personal entertainment system, and even delicious wines poured from a proper bottle–no matter where you sit.
Very EXCITING!! :D:D

Earlier today, Randy posted from NYC that the odds were 40:1 on winning a trip.

So counting my fingers and toes a few times that tells me there were 800 +/- FT'ers who entered this drawing for 20 tickets.

lucky got lucky?

A famous Patrick Henry phrase comes to mind.
