Having a holiday to look forward to is a guaranteed way to make the winter months easier.

Now one Cork travel agency is offering you two chances to win a package holiday to beautiful Lisbon in Portugal… and all you need to do is solve an intriguing mystery.

The new year-round Aer Lingus Cork to Lisbon route operates twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays. The lovely folk at J. Barter have teamed up with Cork Airport and Turismo de Lisboa to give away two amazing package holidays; one to the lucky winner and another holiday to the second place contestant!

The mystery
The competition is based on a simple story: James Barter met Maria on the plane from Cork to Lisbon. He couldn’t build up the courage to ask her out on a date so after a quick coffee at the airport the two went their separate ways.

James soon realised that Maria stole his suitcase to get his attention. Join James on his adventure through the beautiful city of Lisbon and help him find his dream girl.

To activate the game, all you need to do is send the word ‘Start’ in a message to the Travelnet.ie Facebook page (here’s a quick tutorial).

By following the clues in the videos and answering the questions that pop up, players earn points. The winner will be announced on November 30th.
