Pack your bags for chance at free trip

Allegiant and Glacier Park International Airport are celebrating the inaugural flight to the San Francisco Bay area via Oakland International Airport on Friday with a giveaway for free tickets.

Participants in the promotion are asked to actually pack their bags and arrive at the airport between 1:45 and 2:30 p.m. Friday for the opportunity to win two roundtrip tickets on the inaugural flight, as well as a three-night hotel stay at a San Francisco area hotel.

Those entering the contest must be 21 years of age or older. The event will be held in the main terminal lobby across from the Allegiant ticket counter.

Each person will receive one entry into the giveaway. However, those dressed as “tacky tourists” will receive two entries into the giveaway, doubling their chances to win.

The winner will be announced at 2:45 p.m., and then the winner and guest immediately will check in to board the flight that departs at 3:50 p.m.

All other trip expenses, not limited to ground transportation, insurance, meals and other ancillary costs, are the responsibility of the winner. The return flight will arrive in Kalispell on Monday, April 30, at 3:10 p.m.

 Reservations can be made on the company’s website at allegiant.com or by calling (702) 505-8888.
