Voice of Travelers to Saint Lucia

My victory ticket to Saint Lucia

Hello, I am Max from Texas. I want to ask whether you believe in miracles? They are absolutely real! I would never imagine I could get a ticket to Saint Lucia for free, but it happened. I was hanging out with my friends, and we were watching a football match on TV when a friend and I started to argue about which team was going to win. I was adamant that my team was going to win, and he got angry so he suggested we bet on it. Stupidly for him, he bet me the ticket to Saint Lucia which he bought a month previously. He swore to give the ticket to me, if my team won. Saint Lucia was always a dream destination for me, but I would never be able to afford the ticket price. We started to follow the game with super-intensity. Time passed. The game was over… Did I ever believe I would get a ticket to Saint Lucia in a day and without any money? I was in shock. Luck was on my side and my team was the winner. My friend laughed at his loss and handed me the ticket to Saint Lucia. I looked at the flight date on the ticket. It was in a week, through America airlines. I got a wonderful flight due to this airline and an amazing journey to Saint Lucia due to the ticket I won during my bet.

My first ticket and first trip ever: Saint Lucia

I am Ann from Canada, currently studying at University. My college has a sort of ‘Best Student’ award, for the best grades and most diligent student, and last year I was lucky enough to win it! Even though I had worked extra hard on my studies I was still really surprised, but I’m so grateful. The university had partnered with Aer Lingus, and the prize was a return flight ticket to selected destinations: I had never even been abroad before! I looked at the ticket options and one stood out: Saint Lucia. As it was the end of the semester, I could book my ticket straight away, and ended up flying two weeks later! That day was a very special day to me. Saint Lucia… I couldn’t believe I was going to see it at last. The flight was perfect even though I was a bit scared about flying, and the staff really put my mind at ease. I promised myself to become an even better learning student to be able to get another ticket next year as well!
