I first came across Best of the Best a few years ago while I was killing time at Heathrow airport while I waited for a flight to the USA. As I was wandering around the terminal building I suddenly came across a gorgeous looking bright red Ferrari adorned with similarly gorgeous looking ladies selling tickets to win the thing. The tickets then were £80, so I threw caution to the wind and had a flutter. I didn’t win, but ever since then I have bought the occassional ticket, just on the off chance that I might win something. The price has come down quite a lot since then. In fact, the tickets are now only £20 each and if you buy two you get a third free. The best part is, that I now don’t have to be at an airport to enter the competition. Check out winasupercar.net for more details. This month’s competition closes on 31st March. Don’t worry though. There is a new competition every month with a new selection of fantastic prizes to choose from.

Frequent flyer programs can offer long-term discounts, so don’t always buy the cheapest ticket. Once you factor in the free tickets that you eventually qualify for, you could end up saving money. This is an especially good strategy for those who often fly overseas – how many trips to Singapore would it take to accumulate enough frequent flyer miles to get a free domestic ticket?
