Jet Airways, India’s premier international airline launches an In-flight Festival for Children called W.O.W (World of Wonders) with the onset of the festive season. WOW – is a tailor-made, two month long in-flight fiesta suitable for viewing by the entire family, while they fly Jet Airways.
The festival will feature an exclusive Disney Channel compilation of hit shows like Hannah Montana featuring the tween sensation balancing her twin lives of a superstar and a regular schoolgirl. Another favourite, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, is a comedy about twins who are always finding themselves in the middle of funny situations. Continuing the sibling madness is Phineas & Ferb who make up extraordinary inventions in their ordinary world. Or even Wizards Of Waverly Palace, a fantasy joyride about a New York family where kids do real magic with some unreal consequences.
Jet Airways and Disney Channel also bring in the ‘WOW’ factor with the "Camp Rock" Contest based on the keenly awaited Disney Channel Original Movie - Camp Rock, premiering on 26th Dec 2008 on Disney Channel and on Jet Screen, the Award Winning In-Flight Entertainment of Jet Airways, soon thereafter.
Children can make the most of a fantastic opportunity to win wonderful prizes, including prizes for two children to travel to Hong Kong and visit Hong Kong Disneyland with a parent.
To enter the contest, young participants 5 to 16 years can simply log on to the Jet Airways website (www.jetairways.com) and fill in the online contest form. The music clip required for the contest is available online or can be collected from the in flight crew members. Winning by answering a simple question can bring about an opportunity to board another enjoyable Jet Airways flight to Hong Kong.
The contest also features consolation prizes where each such winner gets a Camp Rock music CD. The film is about a talented young girl Mitchie who spends her summer at a prestigious rock camp and ultimately achieves her dream of becoming a singer. A motivating film, which inspires us to believe in ourselves and follow our dreams.
The contest is open from November 1 to December 31, 2008.
Commenting on the launch, Sudheer Raghavan, Chief Commercial Officer, Jet Airways said, “Our young passengers are special and form an important segment of the flying public and Jet Airways is delighted to partner with the Disney channel and welcome them to the World of Wonders (W.O.W) – a tailor made two month long fiesta of in-flight programming for the entire family to enjoy while they fly.
