American Airlines Announces Special One-Time Flight Service Between Philadelphia And Brazil

Calling all Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers fans.

American Airlines is making it even easier to watch the Eagles take on the Packers in Brazil this September.

The airline has just announced that it will offer special non-stop flights between the City of Brotherly Love and Sao Paulo, Brazil to allow fans to watch the September 6 game between the two teams, according to Fox 29 News.

The carrier will offer the first flight on September 5 to bring fans to the Brazilian city and a second northbound flight on September 7, to return fans home.

The southbound flight is set to depart at 9 p.m. and will touch down in Brazil at 7:30 a.m. one day later, according to The Points Guy. Return flights will depart Brazil at 10 a.m. and arrive in Philadelphia around 6:50 p.m.

American Airlines has also designated special flight numbers to honor the hometown team for each route. The southbound route will be served by American Flight 215, which is Philadelphia’s main phone area code. The northbound flight meanwhile, will be American Flight 62, which for those in the know, is retiring center Jason Kelce’s number.

The game between the two teams is the season-opener and it marks the first time ever that the NFL has held a season game in the South American country. It’s also the first Friday night game of opening weekend in more than half a century.
