Attendees will have the chance to select virtual flight paths, including routes over Mount Rainier and Miami, and perform takeoffs and landings in the full-motion simulator.

Participants will be transported from the Thompson Dallas hotel to the simulator facility and back as part of the package. The package includes a two-night stay in a King Premium room with a $100 food and beverage credit. Transportation and air travel to and from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport are not included.

Eligibility requirements include being an AAdvantage Mastercard cardmember, age 18 or older, with a valid World of Hyatt membership at least 14 days before check-in. The second participant must be at least 12 years old. Winners will be notified via email and must sign a waiver and accept terms within 48 hours of notification.
