A Cool Contest Before November Ends

November will almost end and I still haven’t updated my blog. I don’t know what to write and I don’t know what to blog. Good thing, a sudden burst of idea appeared in my head. It’s a cool new contest before November ends…


So what is this cool new contest? It’s not really cool because it’s just another writing contest. What makes this cool is that you need to write a post about your worst airline experience. But not just any other airline company, this contest is intended only for Zest Airways Inc.. For those who don’t have a previous experience with Zest Air, you can still join by reading the mechanics below!

If you want some examples, you can read my Smart Bro and Cebu Pacific post, or read Batang Yagit’s Zest Air experience post.

The criteria for this contest is very simple: The best hate post wins!

Here are the mechanics of the hate post contest.
1. You need to write about your previous horrible experience with Zest Airways. If you don’t have a previous bad experience with Zest Air, you can still join by reading mechanic number 2.
2. If you encountered the same situation below, what would you do? and how would you react?

Zest Airways called you and informed you that your flight has been rescheduled one day after your scheduled flight. You agreed with Zest Air and accepted the new flight schedule. But when you arrived in the airport, there are no Zest Air flights available. After that horrible experience, Zest Air still has the guts to ask you to pay an additional fee for not showing up in your scheduled flight!

3. Just write anything that you want to write and don’t forget to mention Zest Air in your post.
4. In order for your entry to qualify, you need to link this Zest Air post in your entry, using the anchor text “Zest Air”.
5. All entries without the said link will be disqualified.
6. After you published your entry, give me your post permalink by leaving a comment below.
7. Entries can be in English, Tagalog, or in your local dialect (Cebuano, Illonggo, Bisaya, Bicolano, Bul-anon, etc.).
8. The best entry will win Php10,000.00 via Paypal.
9. Deadline of submitting your entries is on December 15, 2010 at exactly 11:59 PM (GMT+8)

There will be only one winner. So write your worst experience about Zest Air and get a chance to win additional cash for Christmas! Ten thousand pesos is at stake for the best entry! Let’s all write about our experience with Zest Air this Yuletide Season!

Good luck to all participants!

UPDATE 12:00 AM December 16, 2010: The contest has ended! The winner will be announced within this week! Stay tuned!

UPDATE 11:14 AM December 20, 2010: The lucky winner will be announced any time on December 22, 2010. My apologies for the delay. If you think you’re the winner, please make sure that your Paypal is verified and can withdraw funds to your bank account. Yay!

  • This is so hard! lols!

    When I went to Cebu last weekend for a trip with my barkada, I booked my tickets with Zest Air. Though it's true that there are some delays, ZA called me up the day before the flight that my schedule was moved to another time. So technically, I never really had a bad experience with them. But like you said, I had to imagine myself in this situation. Hmm.. will think of a great story then. 10,000 is 10,000! haha!

    • hahaha.. it's hard. 10k is also hard to earn nowadays. Pangdagdag na din yan sa Christmas gastos. :mrgreen:

  • Opo invite ko tlaga cla.. ai.. Kuya jehz pag ako napili ulit 5k na lang ibgy mo sa akin... Yung other 5k sa iba na lang na mapipili mo pa! Nakz hehe baet eh n0h? Hehe share your blessings sabi nga...

  • ok lang ba magmura sa post jehz?! :grin: masama ang experience ko dyan sa zest air na yan! Update kita don sa gagawin kong entry!hehe

  • wahahahaha. ngayon ko lang nakita to. hahahahha.
    :roll: wahahaha. adik ka talaga! sana kinain na lang natin ng wagyu. :P

  • Actually I am a friend of Halojin Kuya Jehz! But before i knew him, I am an avid silent reader of your blog...Very informative and you really have your strategy to make more traffic everyday with seldom updates..But anyways, I have an attempt before na sumali sa mga contests mo but even 1 wla natupad just because busy me with my studz..I have this urge to write ngayon pero I still doubt wla kasi me experience sa Zest Air, And I read the mechanix too na pde pa rn! Frankly speaking, nkakamotivate tlga ang prize pero as usual thats one of the factor kung bakit may contest thing u know. Pero I am not looking forward for that, what I after is mingling friends sa blogosphere....Hope I could be able to scribble an entry for this contest...I know I will!...Just dropped by sa blog mo despite of the frustrations I experienced these past few days! ^^...An escape kung baga!
