As playoff excitement ramps up in Montreal, fans of the Canadiens are gearing up for an unforgettable experience. With the team advancing in the Eastern Conference Final against the Carolina Hurricanes, Quebec City–based Chrono Aviation has launched a special charter flight for supporters heading to Game 2 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Charter Flight Details
Dany Gagnon, co-owner of Chrono Aviation, conceived the idea for this charter flight after receiving multiple inquiries from fans. “We are a charter company, and people began calling us to check prices for small groups looking to attend the game,” he explained.
In collaboration with Laurier du Vallon travel agency, Gagnon decided to offer a unique opportunity for Canadiens fans. The charter flight will leave from Saint-Hubert around noon on Saturday, making a brief stop in Quebec City to pick up additional fans.
Pricing and Package Information
- Round-trip flight from Saint-Hubert to Raleigh
- Game 2 ticket included
- Bus transfer from Raleigh airport to the Lenovo Center
Tickets for this all-inclusive package are priced at $1,950 per person. Gagnon noted that sales surged on the day of the Canadiens’ first game against the Hurricanes, ultimately leading to a sold-out flight.
Excitement Among Fans
Montreal fans are buzzing with excitement about the prospect of traveling to Raleigh. One local fan stated, “The atmosphere would be electric. We have the best fans in the league.” Many envision the plane as a mini Bell Center, vibrant with team spirit and camaraderie.
Media Presence
As the flight nears departure, Gagnon has plans to capture the excitement. He expressed a desire to record videos of the 189 enthusiastic passengers who will proudly wear their Canadiens jerseys. This footage will be shared with local media in Raleigh to showcase the vibrant fan base traveling for the game.
Chrono Aviation’s initiative reflects the passion and dedication of Canadiens fans, creating a memorable playoff experience as they support their team in North Carolina.
