Americans are known the world over for their dedication to their work. In fact, they are so committed to their jobs and careers that they barely take any time off. According to a 2023 report from the Pew Research Center, 46 percent of US. workers who are entitled to paid time off take less than they are offered. But everyone needs a break from time to time, even the most devoted US worker, and Canada is here to help.

Canada Is Giving Free Flights to the Great White North to "Burnt Out Americans"
After the frenzy of the presidential election and the stress of Thanksgiving, Destination Canada and flag carrier Air Canada are teaming up to offer free flights to overworked and “burnt out Americans” in dire need of some rest and relaxation away from their compatriots, family members, and colleagues.
All legal residents of the 50 US states and DC who are at least 21 years of age can enter Destination Canada’s SnOOOw Day contest to win two economy round-trip tickets, courtesy of Air Canada. There is a total of 100 round-trip flights to win, one for you and one for the travel companion of your choice.
All you have to do participate is to fill out a form with your basic personal information, and afterwards you can play around with SnOOOw Day’s Out Of Office email generator to mentally prepare yourself to your upcoming, no-work-allowed vacation in Canada.
The Out Of Office email generator will also help you choose the Canadian destination and activities that work best for you, whether that is visiting French-speaking Quebec in winter, partaking in some urban exploring in trendy Vancouver, or learning more about Indigenous traditions on an outdoor trip in Alberta. Canada and its huge variety of landscapes, weather, people, and traditions has something to offer to every type of traveler.
The contest can be entered until December 20, 2024, and the 50 winners will be notified in January 2025. Despite the name of the contest, the lucky Americans who get free flights to Canada won’t have to travel to in the winter, but will be able to pick a date between January 2025 and March 2026 for their jaunt across the 49th Parallel.
