Samsung Spain hands out free Galaxy Note 8 on a domestic flight

You might be thinking how is this possible! This is real and Samsung has actually done it. Samsung Spain handed out  200 free Galaxy Note 8 units to its passengers on a surprize flight.

This week, Samsung Spain decided to remind people of last year’s unfortunate events and highlight how the Galaxy Note 8 has truly been the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. It handed out free Galaxy Note 8 units to 200 unsuspecting passengers on a domestic flight in Spain.

Passengers on a late night Iberia flight from Madrid to A Coruña, Galicia were probably not expecting to get a free gift that cost more than their ticket. This surprise move came after Iberia started promoting the Galaxy Note 8.

There were 200 passengers on that flight and all of them were given a free Galaxy Note 8 unit by the crew. The box carried a text in Spanish which (after being translated) read as: “A year ago we asked you to turn it off, we welcome you today on board”.

It’s a tongue-in-cheek reminder from Samsung about the disaster that it suffered last year. Some might find it odd that the company is using that to promote its new product. Those passengers won’t mind though. Who doesn’t love a free flagship smartphone?
