Won a holiday but no flights

just my luck - won a 9 day tour of egypt but did not notice flights were not included. I never enter when flights aren't included so i must have missed the fact in this instance.
Direct flights are over £400 each per person so i will let them redraw this in the hope of some other mse person winning who is happy to pay for flights.

Why would you enter a competition for a prize you couldn't use ?
I understand runner up prizes but this surely was the main prize ?I Would Rather Climb A Mountain Than Crawl Into A Hole

That happened to me too this week, a holiday to France without flights. I worked it out to be £500 for two of us for two days including flights and food. good on you for letting them know so someone else can have it, I did that too. x
Thanks to all who post, good luck one and all.:hello: :beer: :j:beer::hello:0 -
I always try to remember to read the T&Cs for holiday breaks, but it's so easy to forget when the prize is amazing, and sometimes there are no T&Cs supplied, or the exact prize details are unclear. Such a shame you're not able to go, I really hope something even more fantastic comes your way soon. You deserve it after letting them redraw xx:hello:Hello and thanks to all you gorgeous MSErs posting comps, answers and advice xx0
