VIDEO: Take a Look Inside the Red Sox' Plane as They Depart for London to Face Yankees
By Jared Kish
As the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox travel across the pond to face off at London Stadium for two games this weekend, it appears one team is flying in absolute style.
The Boston Red Sox departed for the six-hour flight in a gorgeous Crystal Skye Boeing 777 that is complete with a full bar. As the Sox sit back with cocktails, the plane is fully equipped with 88 first class seats that lay all the way flat. The cost of the jet is a cool $500,000.
With the Red Sox preparing to face off against their bitter rivals over in London, it seems they are also well fed with the plane fully loaded with snacks being handed out by a waitress.
Typically when American teams fly to London, they are on their usual private jets, which are pretty luxurious anyway. However, when your the defending world champs, a flight across the Atlantic calls for an even more expensive, more luxurious plane.
Being a pro athlete has its perks exhibited in the Red Sox jumbo jet, but lets hope the Sox don't become too relaxed as they hope to gain some ground on their first place rivals this weekend.
