A budget airline has launched a ‘mystery’ holiday experience where you only get to find out the location when you step off the plane.
Consider yourself to be a daring traveller? Well it surely doesn’t get much more daring than this.
If the world is, quite literally, your oyster, and you’re the type of person who’s got a travel bucket list that covers the whole globe, then Wizz Air might have just the experience for you’re looking for, as the budget airline company is now offering Brits the chance to win “a trip of a lifetime” to a mystery destination.
As part of its new #LetsGetLostwithWIZZ campaign, you can sign up to hop on a flight to an unknown destination where you’ll only get to find out the location when you land.
Happening in just a matter of days, the flight will depart from London Gatwick Airport to the unknown destination on 7 March, and according to the airline, the 35 lucky people selected for the four-day holiday can expect a “jam-packed itinerary of fun” – including cultural, culinary, and adventure activities.
If you’re wondering whether you’ll need to pack your kaftans and swimwear, or your snow gear and hiking boots, then you’re right to question, but there’s no need to worry as this will all be answered before departure.
Winners will be told the climate of the mystery destination a few days ahead of the trip, but other than that, no other clues will be revealed until touching down.

Wizz Air flies to more than 70 destinations from the UK, and last year, some of the airline’s most-travelled-to destinations for Brits included Morocco, Cyprus, Greece, Turkey and Spain, with many other off-the-beaten-track locations also proving pretty popular, so there really is no telling where this daring lot will end up.
“We love connecting our passengers to new countries, and allowing them to meet new people and try new experiences,” commented Marion Geoffroy, who is Wizz Air UK’s Managing Director.

“Going on a flight to an unknown destination is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and we are pleased to be able to offer this to lucky winners here in the UK as way of saying ‘thank you’, and we hope to continue serving them as they travel the world and make new memories.”

Fancy it then?
For a chance to win a seat on the plane, UK residents just need to head on over to Wizz Air’s Instagram (@wizzair) and follow the prompts on the latest Instagram reel here, with those selected able to bring a plus one with them on the trip.
Entries close at just after midnight this Thursday (22 February), and all lucky travellers will be contacted of their win on Instagram.

Mancs wanted to take part in a new series of the ‘hardest quiz show on TV’
Emily Sergeant
Call yourself a clever clogs? The BBC is currently looking for contestants to take part in what is widely considered the hardest quiz show on TV.
That’s right – Only Connect is back for another series on BBC Two.
Presented by Victoria Coren Mitchell and first broadcast all the way back in 2008, Only Connect takes TV quizzing to the next level, as it sees two teams compete against each other by finding connections between seemingly unrelated clues.
In this quiz show – which viewers have dubbed one of the most challenging there is – knowledge only takes you so far, as the ability to think laterally is also deemed ‘vitally important’.
A casting call for the upcoming 2027 series has been shared on the BBC website, with people from Greater Manchester encouraged to apply.

The casting call reads: “The popular BBC Two quiz show presented by Victoria Coren Mitchell returns for a new series in 2027.
“Only Connect is seeking teams of three players OR single applicants or teams of two looking for like-minded teammates to pool their combined wits to solve fiendish conundrums and vexing puzzles.
“This is the quiz series where, as in life itself, knowledge will only take you so far: patience and lateral thinking are also vital. It’s all about making connections between things which may appear, at first glance, not to be connected at all.”
Reckon you’ve got what it takes then? Applications are now open, and all applicants must be aged 18 or over and a resident in the UK or Channel Islands.

Alongside the offers, students can expect plenty of live entertainment and in-store experiences throughout the evening, including a DJ set and drinks at Calvin Klein, in-store fitness challenges and at Gymshark, an exclusive piercing event at Lovisa, and a Beauty Hub takeover at Sephora.
There’ll also be ‘spin-to-win’ opportunities at places like schuh, River Island, and YO! Sushi.
