I'm flying in for the national sales meeting tomorrow ...
---
Does that mean that he is flying in tomorrow or that the national sales meeting is tomorrow (i.e., tomorrow's national sales meeting)?

I mean, which of the following does that mean?

a. He is flying in tomorrow for the national sales meeting.
b. He is now flying in for tomorrow's national sales meeting.

We shouldn't still have to be asking for the source of your texts, kadioguy.
Okay, I thought the picture was able to be seen as the source.

It is from a TOEIC test.
 
"I'm flying in for the national sales meeting tomorrow."

There's no time to lose! The sales meeting is tomorrow.
 
Agreed.

The meeting's tomorrow. He's flying in either today or tomorrow--there's no other possibility.

But:
I'm flying in tomorrow for the national sales meeting = He's flying in tomorrow. The meeting's either tomorrow or soon after that, probably in the next two or three days.
