Two winners will be drawn - each prize is for ONE person. If the winner wants to bring a travel companion, they will need to cover the additional costs
Each prize includes a free return flight with Air New Zealand from Los Angeles or San Francisco to Auckland, New Zealand and a free return flight from Auckland to Wellington. Note the restrictions on travel dates set out in the Official Rules below.
The winner will be greeted in the departure hall of the chosen airport by a representative who will hand over part I of the prize, a brand new XBox 360, a Halo 3 game and a bag full of Halo 3 merchandise.
When you arrive in Wellington, after changing flights in Auckland, Weta will greet you at the airport and take you to Ohtel at Oriental Bay. 3 nights accommodation at this top-of-the-line boutique hotel are included in the prize. Extra nights, meals and expenses are the responsibility of the winner and subject to availability.
We will take you on a VIP tour of the multi Oscar winning Weta Workshop, where you get to meet the people who created the awesome Halo 3 statues as well as the Warthog and props for the Halo 3 short films.
You also get to visit the new Weta Cave, our mini-theatre, museum and shop.
We will take you for an unforgettable spin in the real, functioning Warthog we created for the Halo 3 short films and you get to dress up in our Halo 3 Marine uniform and have a professional photo shoot with our Halo 3 guns and props with our photographer.
And finally, before you board your Air New Zealand flight to return home from Auckland, you get to pilot a Boeing 777 flight simulator for an hour under the instruction of a senior Air New Zealand B777 pilot. This is the closest thing you can get to flying an actual commercial jet liner, with unbelievable graphics and g-force simulation.
