In the spirit of festive giving, Air Malta has just launched an interesting free competition called “pass the parcel”.

There are some pretty good prizes to be won, including:

• Free flights
• 50/25/15/10% off flight discount codes (for travel 15 Jan to 31 March 2014)
• La Valette lounge access
• Tickets to the Malta national aquarium

Inevitably, you require a Facebook account to play, and need to “like” Air Malta. Basically, you can “open” one parcel a day for the duration of the competition (and I’ve no idea how long that is) to see if you’ve won a prize. The rules around that are a little complicated – there may not be parcels available, and if there are but you don’t win a prize, you can “pass the parcel” onto a friend (by entering their email address) and Air Malta will send the parcel to them so they can see if they have won a prize.

There is actually a video on the link above explaining exactly how the competition works.

I had a go this morning and won 10% off a flight. Prior to the prize being (eventually) revealed, I had a few technical issues with this competition, so don’t necessarily expect it all to be straightforward – but it’s certainly worth a look.
