Unlike many of us, leap-year babies only get to celebrate a birthday every four years—unFOURgiveable, right? Well, this week, leaplings are in for a chance at winning a £1000 holiday.

In celebration of the upcoming leap day, online travel agent loveholidays is giving away five £1000 holiday vouchers to those born on February 29th as one of their 'random acts of sunshine'.

According to the Office of National Statistics (ONS), 10,796 people have been born on February 29 in the UK since 1995. 

Since leaplings' last true birthday (2020), we've experienced a pandemic, hybrid working, Squid Game dropped on Netflix, 'God Save The Queen' became 'God Save The King', and The Lionesses brought it home. Imagine going through all that without a birthday.

Following the lockdown on and off saga, the world has a newfound appreciation for international travel, increasingly prioritising trips abroad over other luxuries, especially when celebrating those special occasions.

To be in with a chance of winning a £1000 loveholidays voucher, those born on February 29 will need to enter the giveaway by submitting their full name, email address, and date of birth. The giveaway is live now to the end of today (February 29th, 2024). T&Cs, including I.D. verification, apply. 

Winners will be able to use their vouchers on a well-deserved break, being able to select from the billions of short-haul beach, city break, and long-haul package holidays found on loveholidays' website. 

Commenting on the giveaway, Al Murray, Chief Marketing Officer at loveholidays says: 

“Birthdays are a time to celebrate another go round the sun, and more people are choosing the gift of travel above anything else to do so. Having a birthday every four years means those born on leap day can miss out on the usual birthday fuss, so as part of our random acts of sunshine, we're offering them the perfect opportunity to make up for 'lost time'”
