This competition is open and eligible to members of the UK public aged 18 and over only. Employees of Brightsun Travel and employees of participating industry partners are not eligible to participate. Furthermore, agents and distributors as well as employees of the marketing or media agencies contracted by Brightsun Travel and anyone connected with this competition are not eligible to participate.   

The Promoters are Brightsun Travel with offices at 14 Hanworth Road, Hounslow, Middlesex, TW3 1UA, United Kingdom. Brightsun Travel is solely responsible for the administration of this Competition. All decisions made by the Promoters in all matters regarding this competition are final.    The competition starts at 12:00am GMT on 1st May 2026 and ends at 11.59pm GMT on 30th June 2026 (closing date). Entries received after the closing date of the competition will not be considered. 

The entry mechanism is by completing an online form to subscribe to our newsletter; telephone numbers are only taken to contact the winners for a time sensitive prize such as flight bookings and will not be used in any marketing or shared with any 3rd parties. Winners are selected randomly. 

By entering the competition, all entrants are deemed to have understood, accepted and bound by these Terms and Conditions (Terms). Please retain these Terms for your future reference. By entering this competition, entrants also agree to be automatically signed up to the weekly Brightsun Travel newsletter.  


Competition Rules:

Only one entry is allowed per entrant; subsequent entries will not count, and excessive entries under the same name or email will result in disqualification. All entry emails are carefully reviewed, and any fake email ids will be removed and disqualified. Entrants must not enter the competition on behalf of someone else. The prizes are to be redeemed by the individual winners who entered the competition, and the name given when redeeming must match the one given when entering, or the prize will be forfeited.

  

The winning Entrants (“Winners”) will be chosen at random. The Promoter’s decision in all matters regarding the awarding of the Prize is final and binding. 

  

The Winner will be contacted within approximately four weeks of the closing date by email (or by phone if it is a time sensitive prize such as a flight with a ‘book by’ date). This period may be reasonably extended to account for weekends, UK public and bank holidays, or unforeseen administrative delays. If the winner does not respond to the email or phone call within 2 days of the message, the prize will be automatically forfeited, and another winner drawn. Please check junk email regularly throughout the competition to ensure any communications from Brightsun are not missed.

The Promoter reserves the right to amend, cancel, modify, or offer an alternative prize of equal value at any time, if it is not possible to award the advertised prize.   

If a travel voucher, flights, or holiday is won, the winner(s) must arrange and pay for their own travel insurance / visas. Brightsun Travel will not pay any costs related to cancelled or missed flights. If the passenger cannot travel for any reason, they must ensure they have appropriate travel insurance to cover any losses in these circumstances.   

No purchase is necessary to participate in entering this competition, but internet connection is required, and voucher prizes may require an additional spend. Prizes are not transferable, and non-cash prizes shall not be redeemable for cash. No substitutions or exchanges (including for cash) of the Prize will be permitted, except that the Promoters reserve the right to substitute a Prize of equal or greater value for any prize if the intended Prize becomes unavailable for any reason beyond their control.

   

At any time during the Competition, the Promoters reserve the right in their sole discretion to disqualify and remove any Entrant for any failure to observe the Terms including but not limited to cases where the Promoters believe the Entrant to be engaged in any kind of illegal or inappropriate behaviour.
