    If entering from outside of the UK please be aware that you will be required to fund your travel to London

    I would say that is what they mean about flights to London; I don't seriously think that they would offer a one way trip though a long stay in the Cayman's may sound tempting :)

    We will announce the winner on Friday, 8th March, 2013
