- Round-trip coach air travel for winner and guest from a major commercial airport near winner’s residence to San Jose, California. Winner and guest must travel together on same itinerary as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. Flights may not be direct. Winner and guest are solely responsible for having valid identification required for air travel.
