Pic with a Baby Chick Sweepstakes at SJC

It’s been 75 years since the very first commercial flight arrived at SJC with 2,550 baby chicks -- and those baby chicks have returned to celebrate our 75th Anniversary, with chances for you to win some prizes!

Throughout our terminals, you’ll see Ernie and his baby chick friends hanging out. There are window clings, 7-foot-tall cardboard stand-ups and one larger-than-life inflatable display.  

With their arrival, we are launching the “Pic with a Baby Chick” Sweepstakes! Just take a photo with any of our baby chick displays and post it on social using #sjc75 and #PicWithABabyChick. You’ll be entered for a chance to win some sweet SJC 75th Anniversary commemorative swag (there may or may not be fun socks involved!).

HOW TO ENTER

Take a photo with any of the baby chick displays at San José Mineta International Airport.

Post your photo on social media, on any of the following platforms: Instagram, Facebook, X or TikTok. The post must be public for it to count as an entry (we can’t see private posts).

Use the hashtags “#sjc75” and “#PicWithABabyChick” in your post. Now you’re entered for a chance to win!
