[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6159548, member: 177"] I was just as willing to take it to be partially or completely staged for the advertisement, so no big assumptions. For example, I'd be completely unsurprising to find the destinations were in no way random - "I don't know what it will be when I push the button" does not imply real randomness in the choice. They may have had a list of three or four, and it may have been completely determined which one the next button-push would get. But, if they are really sending people places, I would expect that they'd be covering any fees you incurred for cancellation of your original plans, and give you more than plane fare - I would expect it is actually more like a vacation package, with plane fare and hotel included. You do not want someone to agree to be sent to a random country where they don't speak the language without giving them at least safe housing - the liability is too great, and you can't actually sign away your right to sue if something goes really wrong.
