Teasing the event on Instagram, London Southend Airport, in collaboration with Cash Hunt Essex, promises, “The hunt is coming.” The first “hunt” took place on Monday, November 4, at Essex County Cricket Club in Chelmsford, where participants competed for a spectacular prize bundle.
The first week’s grand prize included:
- £100 cash,
- A Golden Ticket for London Southend Airport, offering free parking, fast track, and lounge access,
- Two Essex Cricket match tickets, and
- A holiday voucher to Pisa, Italy worth £600!






The lucky winner, Luke Hawes, shared his excitement, saying that he found the competition “genuine” and “fast-paced.” After saving for a home, he’s thrilled to have a holiday to look forward to in Pisa, where he’ll fly from London Southend next summer with easyJet.
The airport is set to launch a new three-aircraft base, connecting travelers to 10 new destinations, making it the perfect time for winners to plan their next adventure.
