Trip to Madrid is 4 Days/3 Nights, hotel only for 2 days ???

Posted by: fnamor on July 11, 2024

One day is probably a travel day. When we've flown to Europe, we leave Canada on day one and arrive on day 2. When coming back to Canada,we leave Europe in the morning and arrive in Canada the same calendar day. We've been lucky to win 2 trips.

One was to New Orleans. We negotiated with the sponsor to change our flights to add an extra day. OK with them so long as the cost of the flight wasn't more (it wasn't) and contacted the hotel directly to add one extra night at our cost. As this added nothing to the sponsors cost, they didn't care. Second trip was to Fredericton. We need a wheelchair accessible room for my husband. Again, we offered to pay the difference in cost of the room. Sponsor had enough wiggle room in their budget to cover it.

If I won this trip, I would definitely find a way to stay longer at my own expense. Madrid is amazing!

@ducky, thanks for the info! I was a bit bummed it was such a short trip, but nice to hear that some sponsors are open to changing flights and letting you stay longer as long as you cover the cost of that!!

Good luck everyone!

I have done the same, blessed with winning an amazing trip to Whistler, BC for 2 nights, we added a 3rd at our own expense which the travel company booking us was happy for more tourist dollars. Since the flights are paid for and your there, the extra cost is worth it. Good luck to everyone!
