Qatar Airways and Ooredoo have invited customers to share their in-flight experience by snapping a #skyfie – a selfie in the sky.
Until July, all customers who travel on Qatar Airways’ next-generation A350 aircraft to destinations around the world can take advantage of the on-board Wi-Fi, sponsored by Ooredoo. To enter the competition, passengers have to sign up for the airline’s on-board Wi-Fi and post a selfie taken during their flight, along with the hashtag #skyfie, on Instagram or Twitter,
according to a statement.
All entries tagged #skyfie will be automatically entered for a chance to win prizes. Thanks to Ooredoo, customers can enjoy 15 minutes of free Wi-Fi and purchase additional Wi-Fi access at “reasonable prices any time during their flight”, the statement notes.
Winners will be chosen every week, with prizes including in-flight Wi-Fi promo codes, Qatar Duty Free gift vouchers, Qatar Airways Privilege Club Qmiles and Ooredoo My-Fi devices. Every month, a grand prize winner will be drawn to receive either a Qatar Airways round-trip ticket or a signed Paris Saint-Germain shirt.
The competition is open exclusively to passengers who travel on board Qatar Airways’ A350 fleet, which currently connects from Doha to seven worldwide destinations - Frankfurt, Munich, Singapore, Philadelphia, Boston,
New York and Adelaide.
Qatar Airways senior vice-president (marketing and corporate communications) Salam al-Shawa said, “Our in-flight Wi-Fi service takes the experience on board our fleet of A350 aircraft to the next level, and we want to encourage our customers to take advantage of in-flight connectivity by taking a #skyfie and sharing the moment with their friends and family for the chance to win exciting prizes.”
Ooredoo’s director of community & public relations Fatima Sultan al-Kuwari said, “Ooredoo supplies Qatar Airways customers with the latest innovations in on board Wi-Fi technology to offer them a seamlessly smooth connection, whether they are on the ground or cruising above the world. The #skyfie competition is the ideal way for our customers to test our on-board connection, which enables them to keep in touch wherever they are.”
