Win a Mancation from Akron-Canton

I've always been a fan of the folks over at Akron-Canton airport, as they've really been ahead of the curve when it comes to social media. But they also make a fantastic effort of making sure that their passengers and airlines are happy. And part of the latter involves helping to promote new service to the airport to help ensure its success.

The airport's latest efforts involve promoting new nonstop service to Milwaukee (see advertisement above), which is provided by SkyWest airlines as part of their new partnership with AirTran. The flight operates three times a day, and complements existing AirTran service to Atlanta, New York, Boston, and some Florida destinations. Plus, thanks to AirTran's ramping up of Milwaukee service, the new nonstop opens up a bunch of connecting opportunities for CAK flyers.

So, the airport is offering a two-night "mancation" to Milwaukee as part of its advertising strategy. The trip includes hotel, tickets to a Cleveland-Milwaukee NBA game, a spa treatment, tours of the Harley factory and the MillerCoors brewery, and a one-year lease on a Harley motorcyle!

Kudos to Akron-Canton for its continuing creativity. You can enter here.
