Do you work too much? Are you in need of a vacation but won’t let yourself take time off? Do people tell you to take a vacation but you just don’t know how to swing it? Well, United Airlines is here to help you.
The airline has launched a new contest, sending the most overworked person in America to Tahiti—all expenses paid. All you need to do is write a 300-word statement convincing United Airlines that you are the hardest working person in the United States, and the trip is yours!
United is partnering with Project: Time Off, a coalition committed to changing the negative way Americans think about vacation time, to judge entries. The contest coincides with United’s announcement of its new nonstop route between San Francisco and Tahiti, beginning October 30, and it’s the airline’s way of recognizing hard work and the importance of personal time off.
What does the lucky winner get? The grand prize includes round-trip airfare for two, three nights at the Intercontinental Tahiti Resort and Spa, two nights at the Intercontinental Moorea Resort and Spa, two nights at Maitai Rangiroa, one excursion, all transportation between the islands, and a $2,000 prepaid card for meals and expenses. It’s basically the antithesis of a typical work week, and the ultimate vacation for the person who doesn’t know the meaning of the words “time off.”
It should be noted that this Tahiti vacation isn’t just for corporate employees and bosses working 80-plus hours per week. Stay-at-home parents, workers with three jobs, or small business owners are also encouraged to apply (and be nominated). This trip to Tahiti is for anybody who doesn’t get a break.
The contest is open until 11:59 p.m. Central Time on September 25, 2018. The winner will be notified on or around October 11.
