Officially kicks off my challenge that will allow 6 members of our community to travel to the U.S. at the expense of Barbone, as always I keep my promises and in this case it is the one I made while sweating the famous 10 shirts in Around the world in pursuit of the Million Mile SAS .
In this article:
As promised there will be 6 tickets that I will pay for, thanks to Eurobonus points to as many users: 2 business class tickets, 2 premium economy tickets and 2 economy tickets. The destination will be chosen by the magnificent 6, from among the routes served by Scadinavian Airlines during the 2026 winter season. Specifically I will give away 6 round-trip tickets to as many users, the departure date will be common, while the return will be at the discretion of each participant. Food, lodging and other expenses will be borne by the passenger not the bum.
Requirements to be among the lucky ones
The rules of this challenge of mine are very simple:
- You are not obliged to buy anything or subscribe to anything
- You must be of legal age, have a passport, and be eligible to enter the U.S.
- Agree to take part in the video that will tell the story of our "great departure"
- It will be necessary to register (for free) to the contest
If you win and want to give the ticket to someone you can do so, but the requirements will also apply to substitutes.
How I will choose traveling companions
There will be 3 different groups within which I will choose at least one winner:
- The treasure hunt
- Followers
- Club members
The treasure hunt
Did you get your flight cancelled, miss your connection, land late?
You could get up to 600€ compensation per person
Since mine has been a hunt that has taken me flying to four continents, The hunt for the golden ticket on our website has officially started. Every day, at the very least there will be a ticket to be found. There will be no need to buy a chocolate bar as in Willy Wonka, but just browse the site and click on the golden ticket. There will be a weekly (but perhaps real-time) ranking and at the end of the hunt, June 15, whoever has found the most golden tickets will have the ticket paid for by the bum.
Golden tickets could also appear in videos, stories, reels, and newsletters, and I could have them with me even when I am traveling. Beware it is not enough to just see it and click it, you have to be the fastest to "claim" it as well.
Followers

Club members
One eye is on the most loyal users, those who have been following me for a long time and have contributed to the success of our project. This group will see as many as 3 users being selected to fly USA destination. This group will include all the subscribe to the YT channel each user will get one chance for each month he or she is a subscriber, double chances for platinum subscribers.
On April 1, we will put on sale in the store a special product, created in collaboration with Flying Angels, the proceeds of which will be completely donated to the non-profit organization that TFC has been supporting for over 2 years. Each user who buys this product will have 5 chances to win for each "piece" bought.
Summing up
The contest starts today and ends on June 15; there will be 6 places up for grabs. Once the travel companions are identified, the lucky 6 will play for the type of tickets and also decide the destination. The departure will be "in a group "everyone can decide independently when to return. Of course I will pay for the airfare, not the stay or food.
