BOARD A STAR WARS JET

Now boarding - Star Wars fans.

That is what 20 lucky winners could hear on Nov 14, when they get to enjoy three hours on board the first commercial aircraft to be decorated with Star Wars livery.

Called the R2-D2 ANA jet, the experience in business class will take place while the plane is parked at Changi Airport.

Winners will get to catch a Star Wars movie while lying back on Star Wars-themed headrests and enjoy an in-flight meal on Star Wars crockery. They will also receive limited-edition merchandise such as an R2-D2 ANA jet model plane and a Star Wars plush toy.

The 20 winners will each get a pair of tickets. To take part in the contest, go to www.ana-sw.com/event/?id=20 and www.facebook.com/changiairport until next Sunday. Winners will be selected by Changi Airport Group and ANA.
