As part of our #CurioCity contest with British Airways, we asked Mashable readers to tweet their most innovative ideas for ways that technology could help travelers explore a new city. We received a lot of fantastic entries, including everything from drone-enabled city tours to pub maps based on GPS location.
We'd like to congratulate our lucky winners, who will be flying roundtrip from Austin to London next month, courtesy of British Airways. In addition, our winners will also receive:
Roundtrip airfare from Austin to London (November 5-9) on British Airways’ new 787 Dreamliner.
4 days/3 nights at a hotel in London.
Participation in a full tour of Shoreditch.
An evening at a Don't Pitch Me Bro event.
An exclusive invitation to a joint party hosted by Mashable and British Airways on November 7.
Full immersion into London's vibrant culture with complimentary meals at top restaurants and a taste of London's startup life.
