4. When you hear a British Airways boarding call sound effect played on-air and when prompted by the presenter(s), you must text in with the keyword given out on air to 83958 (the ‘Text Message Line’).
5. The opening and closing times of the Text Message Line will be given out on air. Entries received before or after this time will not be included in the Promotion but may still be charged.
6. Promotion rounds will be announced in advance by the presenter(s) on-air. There may be multiple rounds of the Promotion played on any given day during the Promotion period. The number of rounds played each day will be decided at our discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, the text system will be re-set after each competition round.
7. Once the Text Message Line has closed, all eligible entries will be entered into a draw. For each Promotion round, one entry will be selected at random and the entrant will be contacted by one of our representatives via the telephone number on which they entered. If the entry is ineligible, we reserve the right to select another entrant to participate in the Promotion or withdraw the prize and select another entrant, as applicable.
8. We are not responsible for any latency experienced by your mobile phone network, which may delay the delivery of text messages to and/or from us.

If entry is made by text message, be sure to use the correct shortcode. In all cases, please check with your service provider for more details and charges. If you are not the bill payer, you must obtain the bill payer’s permission before entering.
10. Within 30 minutes of the closing time of the Text Message Line, all eligible entries will be entered into a draw and one correct entrant will be selected at random and the entrant will be contacted by one of our representatives via SMS OR telephone on the number on which you entered.
