Win A Lufthansa First Class Duck on Twitter

Contest, Sweepstakes, , ,

Lufthansa First Class

In September 2014 I won a Lufthansa Twitter contest. No I didn’t win a flight anywhere but I did win a highly sought after toy.

Around a month after winning, my prize arrived. I had won a Lufthansa First Class Duck!

You can buy rubber ducks for .99¢ or so but the Lufthansa variety are hard to come by. Those who visit the First Class Lounge or Terminal can get a duck as a little souvenir. They can also be bought on Ebay and can fetch a pretty high price!

I can’t say that I know anything about airplane repair or maintenance but if I was sitting on a plane waiting to take off and saw what Adam Wood did, I might be a bit alarmed…

Wood spotted a plane’s engine being fixed with what appeared to be an unlikely item. It’s something that anyone could buy a roll of for around $3 and it is pretty versatile in terms of what it could be used for. Continue reading Did An Airline Fix A Plane w/ Duct Tape? →
