Win a Trip on Greyhound Express!

Filed under giveaways

You may remember my dreamy Greyhound trip to Atlantic City last year, and if you do, you’ve probably been dreaming of one of your own ever since.

Well, thanks to my friends at Greyhound, one of you will win a trip for two on their premium express bus! Amenities on these buses include:

• reserved seating

• free wi-fi

• power outlets on the seats, and

• extra legroom!

Not to mention the chance to sit back, relax in those plush seats, and let Greyhound take you wherever you want to go.

Here’s the fine print:

• Greyhound will provide a round trip ticket for one reader and a friend to experience Greyhound Express.

• At least one rider must be over 18 years old.

• The tickets will be non-refundable, which means any attempts at re-booking may involve additional cost at the expense of the rider.

• Trips must occur within 60 days of the contest end date.

• Trips must be scheduled for one origin city and one destination city on a Greyhound Express route in the Southeast or Northeast.

All of the cities Greyhound Express travels to and from can be found here. If you’re near a city with an Express bus to NYC, come visit me! And if you’re not, go visit someone else and tell me about it to make me jealous!

To enter, just leave me a comment telling me where you’d travel to if you won. Or tell me something in general. Or link me to a picture of your cat. No matter what, be sure to include your e-mail address in your comment so I can contact you when you win.

I’ll pick a random winner this Friday at 5 p.m.!

    Greyhound doesn’t leave out of Dallas? WTF?

    • katie ett says:

      I assume that Greyhound in general does, but this is the EXPRESS. And you can’t get anywhere from Dallas fast, amiright?

  2. Cassie says:

    Holy crap, this thing takes you to Minneapolis! GENIUS.

    Otherwise, you’d have to take the Amtrak, which shows you the armpit of America.

    (Of, of course, fly…or drive, I GUESS.)

  3. Landlord says:

    Do they have any of these in their fleet?

  4. Serial says:

    I think all your millions of readers crashed their site. I can’t get the cities to load, no matter which region I select. LAME. Because I NEED to win!

      Got it to work! And OBVIOUSLY I would take either the Charlotte or Atlanta (depending on my mood) to come visit YOU for the weekend before my birthday (December 6 in case you forgot).

      And I’d bring Kinard – because I’m sure you’d love my boyfriend, but if he comes then I’d have no one to take care of my dogs, and I’m pretty sure bitey pit bulls are not allowed on the bus.

      Will Kamran take us all out to dinner? Where will we go?

      Now this is all I want for my birthday.

    Greyhound from Boston only goes to Hartford or NYC. While visiting my relatives in Connecticut does sound appealing (?), I guess I’d have to come and visit you if I won. Then we could finally get together and eat mass quantities of hot dogs and cookies. I’m the clear front runner.

  6. Kim says:

    I’d take the NY EXPRESS to DC to visit my old roommate and seduce some politicians and to see if Greyhound can prove me wrong in thinking that buses and the creatures that ride them are agents of the devil. DOUBT IT.

  7. Frenchie says:

    How do they make wifi work on a bus? I must see this to believe it.

  8. Hmm… I’d probably have to check in with my P.O. about that…
    ;)

    Hey Katie! Of course we will come to see you in NYC! Can we win since we are related? Where are the official rules? It looks like we would have to drive to Pittsburgh since Ohio isn’t in the Northeast region. You didn’t do that on purpose, did you? Love, Aunt Brenda and Uncle David

  10. Tessa says:

    Well, I know this is randomly selected and all, but IF I so happened to be chosen, it would be really cool, given that this would probably be the only way/reason I and/or The Guy I Am Not Dating would be able to make it to NYC, and we could both secretly feel superior about our choice of bearded, glasses-wearing men, and I’ve been eating seafood now (did you know?) and am DYING, just DYING, absolutely GASPING for some fancy New York cuisine, and he eats everything, and we’d bring you tacky Southern souvenirs and while our overeducated dates amuse themselves boasting of their various degrees, we can lounge decadently and just smirk at our good fortune, except it’s not just fortune, because, dude, we DESERVE this, amirite?

  11. caropal says:

    I got all excited about where I would go, and then saw that IT WON’T GO TO/FROM THE MIDWEST. Your roots are ashamed, Katie. THEY ARE ASHAMED.

  12. knittinglizzie says:

    I’d take a special lady friend to either DC or Boston for a get away yo!

  13. thickcrust says:

    First of all, fares are $1! But I’d still like to win. Would they left me get 4 1-way tickets instead of 2 round-trip tickets? I would send 4 of my least favorite neighbors on the express bus to Charlotte, which looks like the farthest point from New York.

  14. Oh, how I would LOVE to do this, but Greyhound probably wouldn’t appreciate me bringing a crying, pooping infant on their nice, luxurious buses.

  15. Dishy says:

    I got excited when I saw this, thinking I could win a trip to come meet you & Kamran (even though he’s afraid of me & my accent now) but then I checked and BOOOOOO!! BOOOOOO!!!!!! Greyhound Express doesn’t come to (nor depart from) Portland. You know we are Maine’s largest city. Sure, we’re small – smaller than Boston, or say, Philly, but we count. And I see tons of other Greyhound buses bringing transients (and non-transients) to town otherwise. Hmph.

    Good luck to someone else. Hope they enjoy the delicious low sodium food you were sure to wow me with in NYC.

  16. Bob Dole says:

    I’m going for the emotional win…

    I’d give the ticket to my younger brother who is in college in Baltimore to Visit me in NYC, so I can cook him a proper meal.

  17. Bobeye says:

    I would head to the windy city to indulge in some deep dish pizza and hopefully hit up a show at House of BLues with some fabulous fellow midwest folks!

  18. jennifer hughs says:

    i want in! i did actually comment a while back on this very endeavor…and since i let you down with my middling game show performance, i’ll have to throw it down and make my million at the blackjack table. just think of how i’ll owe you then…
