The first-ever U.S. edition of Air France’s Instant Takeoff promotion will take place at the North Plaza of the Flatiron Plaza located on 23rd Street and 5th Avenue in Manhattan, where two lucky winners and their guests will be selected from the crowd and whisked away on a flight leaving that same night. While there will only be a few winners, participants will experience complimentary French treats and music in a specially designed check-in lounge from 4 to 6 p.m. EST
Those who wish to enter the sweepstakes must pre-register at http://airfranceinstanttakeoff.com/. The location will be revealed to registrants via email on the day of the event. Both the entrant and their guest will need to arrive at the pop-up lounge with bags packed and passports in hand to gain admittance to the lounge and await the random drawing.
After the drawing, the winning couples will be escorted in a private car to John F. Kennedy (JFK) International airport. Winners will enjoy Premium Economy seats on Air France’s Flight 009 to Paris. The package also includes hotel accommodations at Pullman Paris Montparnasse, a lunch voucher to Bistro Allard and free access to The Louvre, provided by American Friends of the Louvre. The winners will spend a weekend in the City of Light, with a return flight on Monday, Oct. 27.
