Anyone else had this on a flight? The stewardesses did a 50/50 ticket sale on our flight home from Orlando

Posted by Beaker (aka Anniebecca) Mar 9 '10, 08:27

sold tickets: 10/$5, 30/$10 etc.
Prizes were:
- 50% in money
- 50% different souvenirs and such

they split the money into two draws and gave away $100 to two flyers, plus 25 or so other prizes.

Alot of fun.

We do this at our Relay For Life meetings. 50% to ACS, 50% to one person. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 9, 08:39 1
- it's a fun way to raise money for sure - znufrii Mar 9, 08:40
On a charter vacation flight, this could be fun. On a normal flight, this would annoy me - I want minimal noise/nuisance. - ty97 Mar 9, 08:37
heh, fun. But ... are you sure you want to be playing the odds while in the air? :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 08:29
Yup. I've seen it on many flights back from Mexico, etc. Can't say I've seen it on a domestic -- nm - oblique Mar 9, 08:29
was this on a charter flight, or part of a package deal? I wouldn't think there'd be much interest in such a thing on a regular commercial carrier... -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 08:29 4
- Nope, regular flight from Orlando to Bangor. I'd guess well over half the plane bought tickets (probably closer to 80%) -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 08:31 3
  - Was that Allegiant airlines? - ty97 Mar 9, 08:38 1
    - yup and we were quite impressed. -- nm - Beaker Mar 9, 08:41
  - intersting. I've never heard of such a thing, but I suppose flying from Orlando it's almost exclusively the tourist trade anyway - znufrii Mar 9, 08:34
Did this on Southwest once. T'was fun. -- nm - Diva Mar 9, 08:29
