CHICAGO, Dec. 13, 2017
/PRNewswire/ -- To celebrate United Airlines' new daily,
nonstop service between its Houston hub and Sydney, Australia starting January 18, the airline is searching for
individuals across the U.S. – excluding New York and Florida – with the first or last name
Sydney (see terms and conditions
for accepted spelling variations) to enter for a chance to visit
the city of their namesake with one guest through a sweepstakes
launching today at SydneyHoustonUnited.com.
Five winners and their guests will experience the trip of a
lifetime starting with the inaugural flight from Houston to Sydney. Meanwhile, five Australians bearing
the first or last name Houston,
along with their guests, will be on the return flight on
January 20 from Sydney to Houston. In addition to the round-trip flight,
each winner and their guest will receive hotel accommodations for
five nights at The Westin Sydney, access to local sights and
attractions and a $500 prepaid card
to customize their trip.
Supporting United's vision to connect people and unite the
world, winners will enjoy the quintessential experience of the
world-class city they're named after. The "Sydneys" of the U.S.
will enjoy a week of epic Sydney-side adventures – beautiful beaches,
big bridges and that 'true blue hospitality' Australians are known
for. The "Houstons" from Australia, on the other hand, will swap Bondi
BBQ for true Texan style, and their flip flops for cowboy
boots.
This new flight will be the only nonstop service to Australia from Houston and offers customers from Houston as well as from hundreds of cities
across the U.S. the opportunity to conveniently travel to
Sydney. United currently serves
Sydney nonstop from its West Coast
hubs in Los Angeles and
San Francisco, and Melbourne, Australia from Los Angeles.
For complete rules and to enter, visit SydneyHoustonUnited.com.
The sweepstakes runs through December
27 and winners will be selected on or around December 28.
