Special FlyerTalk invitation: exclusive Boeing event in Sydney, Wednesday 7 November

How would you like to to meet and chat with one of Boeing's senior executives over a special invitation-only breakfast?

That man is Randy Tinseth, Boeing's vice president marketing for Boeing Commercial Airplanes, who can share direct insights into the 787, the 747-8, the 737 MAX and pretty much any member of the 7x7 family.

The event is Australian Business Traveller’s exclusive 'Boeing Brekkie', being held in Sydney this coming Wednesday, 7 November, from 7.30am to 9am.

This invitation-only breakfast is limited to 12 guests – and thanks to AusBT and djsflynn we have reserved three seats at the table for some lucky FlyerTalk members!

For your chance to take part, answer the following question in 25 words or less: Which Boeing plane is your favourite to fly in and why? Just reply in this thread or via PM if you prefer.

Entries close at midnight Sunday (AEST) and we’ll announce the winners here on Monday morning.

Before entering, please be sure that you can attend this breakfast in Sydney from 7.30am Wednesday 7 November.

Good luck!

The Boeing 747, because nothing beats business class on the upper deck, and the experience of first class sitting right in the nose.

The 77W, with the massive twin engines and the raked wingtip, it exhibits graceful power, majestic beauty as it thunders away into the skies.

The first flight I ever took at 4 years old was a 747, and whenever I see one it evokes such fond memories of flying.

The 747 is the only airliner where "turning left" upon entering guarantees a special flight.

(note: I am unable to attend the breakfast, but just had to write this !)

I LOVE the 767 - widebody feel to it, and nobody is more than one seat from the aisle!

747 - It's a special feeling when you head upstairs into your sanctuary

The 77W by far - solid, powerful aircraft, and most airlines have kitted it out with their best offerings!

Would have to be seat 1A on the QF 744-ER. Quite as a mouse in cruise and being able to look forward on take-off. Perfect!

The 747 because it holds the most memories including my first cockpit visit and the only one where you can see ahead from Seat 1A.

The 787 Dreamliner, because it opens up a host of new non-stop destinations I'll (hopefully) be able to fly to someday!

The 787 - because breathing fresh, humidified air means I can step off the plane feeling human.

The Boeing 747 evokes memories of my first flight and seeing the world as a child and still takes me to new, far-off places today.

My favourite Boeing plane is the one that's taking me home after a long trip, even better if I'm sitting in 1A on a 747 cloud watching
