There’s never a bad time to go to Paris, and Air France agrees, giving away a pair of roundtrip flights and a wardrobe incroyable so travelers can live their best French lives.
The sweepstakes, which is open until 11:59 p.m. ET on Sept. 4, will reward two lucky winners with a pair of roundtrip business class tickets to Paris, plus a 3-month subscription to Rent the Runway so they can explore the City of Lights in style.
“You’ve likely been seeing Paris all over the screen lately. First with the Olympics, and more recently with Emily in Paris,” Air France said in a statement shared with Travel + Leisure. “I know we are all dreaming of Croissants, walking on the Seine, and sipping Champagne in a French bistro. Well, Air France has teamed up with Rent the Runway to make this dream a reality.”
To enter the sweepstakes, travelers must “like” Rent the Runway’s contest-specific Instagram post, follow @renttherunway on the social media platform, and tag two friends who they’d want to travel with. One comment tagging two friends is equivalent to one entry, and to maximize their chances of winning, travelers can enter up to 10 times.
The contest is open to legal residents 18 and older of the contiguous United States, but unfortunately not to those who live in Hawaii or Alaska. Winners will be responsible for their own accommodations in France and ground transportation.
The complimentary 10-item Rent the Runway membership plan — which is a great option for switching up your wardrobe to suit a new destination — will auto-renew unless the winners cancel or pause it.
The contest comes as Air France is in the process of rolling out a new business class seat, which features power adjustable lumbar support, a sliding door for privacy, a 17.3-inch 4K screen, Bluetooth connectivity, and a wireless charger. The seat is currently available on many flights between the U.S. and Paris.

I'm an American born to British parents. My husband is British and recently obtained US citizenship after living there for 10 years. When we had our son (who also has dual citizenship), we knew we'd spend significant time on both continents. However, the pandemic, finances, and busy schedules kept us from traveling internationally.
United Airlines recently announced it will be discontinuing its in-flight paper magazine, Hemispheres. The travel magazine offered travel inspiration and updates on United’s routes, as well as flight and airport terminal information. In recognition of the magazine’s final issue, United is giving MileagePlus members the opportunity to receive the final issue. “We’re offering select MileagePlus members the exclusive chance to get their own free copy of the final print issue of Hemispheres magazine while supplies last,” United shares on the website. In order to request one of the limited-quantity issues, travelers must log-in on the promotional site with their United MileagePlus credentials. After selecting «RSVP Now,» members will be entered into the queue to receive a copy of the magazine, and notified if they are selected to receive it. September’s issue, the current issue in United’s seatback pockets, is the final print issue of Hemispheres. Frequent flyers have been snapping photos holding the magazine to commemorate the history and significance of the magazine. Others on social media described inflight magazines as “warm nostalgia from my childhood.”

Below, fashion director Martha Ward takes us on location and shares how the shoot came together, from seeking out unforgettable scenery to the most memorable look.

Don't ask me how, but August is leaving and September is knocking — and while there are technically still a few weeks of summer left, I'm already dreading its end.
