If the Vancouver Canucks are forced to travel more than they already do, they’re going to do it in style.
Already one of the most travelled teams in the league due to their pacific northwest location, the Canucks had an extra trip to make this season.
They, along with the Los Angeles Kings, are representing the NHL for a pair of pre-season games in China.
Instead of taking their typical private jet overseas, however, the Canucks went all out and chartered one of the most luxurious planes in the world.
The Boeing 777 jet, called the Crystal Skye, was chartered through Crystal Cruises and barely looks like an airplane on the inside.

The massive plane features the widest in-cabin configuration and highest ceilings around, including seats that convert to beds.
Along with the spacious cabin area, the Crystal Skye is also the only private charter jet with a separate social area, stand-up bar and lounge setting.
To go with that lounge and bar is a full-time award-winning executive chef serving up michelin star-inspired cuisine.
The Canucks surely had a comfortable trip to China and now they’ll prepare for two games against the Los Angeles Kings.
The two teams will face off on September 21st in Shanghai before playing on September 23rd in Beijing.
