The first-ever US edition of Air France's Instant Takeoff promotion will take place at a prominent outdoor public space in Manhattan, where two lucky winners and their guests will be selected from the crowd and whisked away on a flight leaving that same night.

After the drawing, the winning couples will be escorted in a private car to John F. Kennedy (JFK) International airport. Winners will enjoy Premium Economy seats on Air France's Flight 009 to Paris. The package also includes hotel accommodations at Pullman Paris Montparnasse, a lunch voucher to Bistro Allard and free access to The Louvre, provided by American Friends of the Louvre. The winners will spend a weekend in the City of Light, with a return flight on Monday, October 27.
