I'm really trying to turn off my work brain. Sorry :-)
Glad you brought this up - I was going to but didn't want to sound like a spoil sport LOL

So, to sum it up, if you win say a $2,000 value trip (accomodations, etc., no airfare), you'll be paying for airfare plus income taxes on the $2,000.
Definitely not free, but for the right person still a good deal

With airfares changing willy-nilly, & chain reactive, and gas going ~~~~, & seasonal rates, I could see where they wouldn't include it. You could always try to sell the package and still make some FREE cash. I'd take that too! Or you could donate/raffle it & it would be a tax DEDUCTION!
Would you not want to be on Jeapardy, or Wheel Of Fortune for fear of winning?
Accent the positive,........la,la the negative........

I agree. I've been on a few game shows and never regretted winning $ because of taxes
