Travel took a hit in 2020, with Millennials and Gen Z-ers feeling some of the biggest impacts as they put sports, socializing and study abroad plans on hold during what should be the most explorative time in their lives. To make up for the lost year, CheapTickets® is giving one lucky 20-something an itinerary they can look forward to: win a free trip each year until they turn 30.
