Competition Terms

Additional Competition Information

Note: We have never had to issue a cash prize alternative for our Flight in a Spitfire experience, and so it is extremely unlikely we will ever need to do this.

* If we do not receive a minimum of 600 tickets sold by the time of the countdown timer reaching zero, an additional 7 days will be added to the countdown. This 7 day extension can be repeated until a maximum of 4 times. If by 4 extensions the tickets have still not been sold sufficiently, a cash alternative prize of 60% will be awarded instead of the original prize. *
