British Airways has announced a unique competition in Twitter where the airline asks people to tweet and chase its Dreamliner 787 plane that flies today from London Heathrow to Toronto, Canada.

As part of the competition, users should either tweet by including the hashtag "#RaceThePlane" or retweet others between 12:15 and 19:55 BST today. Tweets have already started pouring in.

Currently, this competition is open for two of its flight routes - LHR to YYZ on September 19, and LHR to LAX on September 24.

British Airways will select five winners at random, each of the winners will get two World Traveller return flight tickets from London Heathrow to Toronto on Boeing 787 aircraft.

This competition is open only for UK-residents. As part of the qualification rules, users should follow the airline's twitter handle. Detailed terms and conditions - here.

British Airways recently launched a campaign by name "Visit Mum" where it encouraged people to travel to India to visit their mum.

Also, the airline was making news a week ago when a twitter user ran promoted tweet against the airline to claim his dad's lost luggage.
