I'd recommend considering Vancouver, where OW has its headquarters.

Taking a page from the Star people, maybe some kind of "VIP" tour of the Boeing widebody plant (in Everett, 20 min. north of Seattle and 3 hrs on the train south from YVR) might be possible - by then (God willing) they ought to be in full swing on 787 assembly and flight testing/delivery.

Only hitch in YVR would be the Olympics, but I imagine by the time this is organized the winter games would be long over.

Vancouver is served by AA, BA, CX and JL (and a big do would be a good venue to pitch QF re-entering the market.)

Have I missed timing discussions? If May/June, there could be Alaska cruise add-ons for any interested parties (ANC and adjacent Lake Hood are plane-spotters' paradises.)
