congrats,

if they all went out around the same time, i think im in trouble :) have fun! ill cancel my rooms now :(

Yes - congrats to the winners :)

All my emails were rejected with the following reason
I sent Randy a PM but got no reply :(

I'm in too!
 

Received my email at 2:00 PT!

WAs that an extra period after flyertalk.com?

Congrats to those who got it! I look forward to the trip reports.

this was a nice surprise!

Congrats, everyone that made it! Enjoy the opportunity, and ^^^ to Randy and OpenSkies for putting together such a great package.

I'm trying to convince myself that I'm really only missing out on the 13 hours of quality time I'd be spending with I-81 and I-78 CHO-Metropark RT and a couple of grimy NJT/LIRR rides. Maybe after a couple of beers later I'll even believe it. :)

Congrats to all the winners.

Thanks to Randy and OpenSkies.

Disappointed that I didn't make it. Looking forward to future opportunities.

shucks no email for me :( hope everyone has a great time. Thanks for the opportunity Randy ^

My first two bounced back as well and I received a MAILER DAEMON. The third time was the charm!

Hahahaha made the last couple days more exciting ^^

Hope everyone enjoys themselves and I look forward to reading about it :)

Congratulations to all the winners. Will be thinking of you next weekend and look forward to hearing all about your trip.

Perhaps Randy could post the winners here in case there were problems with the receiving of the emails (hoping that I was one of them...:D).

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

No e-mail for me. :(

But haven't canceled positioning flights yet as I''m the ultimate optomist. :D

Congrats to those who made the cut. And thanks to Randy and Openskies for giving the fun of the last couple days! @:-)

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.:)

Paris Schmaris...I'm going to Brooklyn :D

otoh CONGRATS to all the winners

No email for me
 

Would have loved to go...:(

Really bummed out, I need a break and even had a place to stay for the weekend.

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 :

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.

what is a proper bottle, a fancy decanter or a full wine bottle? ;)

And on Friday the 13th, no less!

Congrats to all the winners! Mrs. SC Flier and I will stick with the BRT and Wine Do!

I may never find out.. but I will admit that I am curious as to who ended up getting my spot. :p

Congrats to the lucky 20!

Congrats to the winners! ^

Congrats to the lucky winners!

Congratulations to all the winners! And congratulations to Randy celebrating 10 years of FT!

Winners, please start a thread to let us know how the flight is, what you do, and the wonderful times you have together.

Great gift, Randy, and a nice way to treat the FT community, although it seems we should be the ones treating you.

Even though I did not win, I still think this is a great start to celebrating 10 years. congratulations to the winners! Is there still a possibility of a proper 10th anniversary DO or is this all we will see aka aka do you have something else up your sleeve like a ride on a NWA 747??

Were the winners chosen completely randomly or was there some other criteria?

Probably some combination. OP used "selected" in original post, not (chosen) (like out of a hat) Lucky posted he was selected on his blog on jun10 so some were selected and some were chosen. either way, I think its GREAT that Randy is so generous when these things come his way ^

Just to clarify, Randy did a separate thing for BoardingArea.com (his site), so I'm not taking one of the 20 spots. As far as I can tell (at least based on those that have RSVP'ed) it looks pretty random to me!
