The Oilers did not choose to travel home last night after their game two against LA. They departed LAX at 10:48 a.m. The total estimated flight duration is 2h 50m. They should arrive in Edmonton (YEG) at 2:38 p.m. MDT.
Flight number: ACA7039
Est. Flight Duration: 2h 50m
Aircraft: Airbus A320
Montreal Canadiens -> Home
The Montreal Canadiens did not travel after the game last night. They waited until this morning, departing Washington (IAD) at 11:12 a.m. EDT and arriving in Montreal (YHU) at 12:35 EDT.
Flight number: ACA7042
Flight duration: 1h 23m
Aircraft: Airbus A320
Washington Capital -> Montreal
The Washington Capitals departed Washington (IAD) at 1:59 p.m. EDT and are currently en route. They should arrive in Montreal (YUL) at 3:32 p.m. EDT. Note that the Canadiens flew into a different airport (YHU) than the Capitals are flying into (YUL).
Flight number: DAL8958
Flight duration: Est. 1hr 33m
Aircraft: Boeing 757
Carolina Hurricanes -> New Jersey
Unfortunately, I don't have flight number information on the Carolina Hurricanes. If they play a Canadian team in a subsequent round I should be able to narrow it down. Currently, there are too many planes that flight from Raleigh to New Jersey, and there are too many airports in the New York/New Jersey area.
New York has some of the busiest airspace in the world which makes it incredibly challenging to narrow down.
I may try to find it again when I have a bit more free time on my hands.
LA King -> Edmonton
The Los Angeles Kings were departed at 12:11 p.m. PDT. They are flying from LAX to YEG. They should arrive in Edmonton at 4:19 p.m. MDT.
Flight number: DAL894
Flight duration: Est. 3h 8m
Aircraft: Boeing 757
How do you get this info? And what made you crest this account, like stalking team flights?
It’s all publicly available and it’s not hard to figure out. I managed to find 25/32 of the team’s flight numbers in an hour after I figured out the flight number patterns.
I just think aviation is really interesting and I like listening to ATC (Air Traffic Control) online. The first time I heard the Canuck’s pilot on ATC was really fun and exciting.
I thought I’d give others this info too so they can listen to ATC or even maybe go do some plane spotting.
I know people could use it for nefarious purposes. However, someone motivated enough would be able to find this information themselves anyway. It’s really not hard to find.
I could make a post on the methodology I used/the story behind how I figured it out if anyone was ever interested.
Away teams typically travel the day before an away game, preferring to stay at home as long as possible.
Home teams will typically travel either immediately after a game or mid-morning the next day.
During the playoffs, the teams switch venue every second game for the first four, and then every game for the last three (should they be required).
Daytime Travel
Maples Leafs -> Ottawa
Teams are not allowed to travel on the same day they have a game, so we will see the Maples Leafs fly to Ottawa tomorrow.
We can expect the flight to occur mid-morning to noon, most likely. Teams occasionally will travel later but given that they likely want their players well rested I expect they’ll fly earlier in the day.
They will likely do so via either ACA7045 or ACA7046.
Wild -> Home
The Minnesota Wild will take DAL8950 from Las Vegas to Minneapolis tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. PDT. The flight will be 2 hours and 44 minutes long.
Golden Knights -> Minnesota
The Golden Knights will take DAL8957 to Minnesota, departing Vegas at noon and arriving in Minneapolis at 4:44 pm CDT.
They are leaving just 90 minutes after the Wild.
Jets -> St. Louis
The Jets will take either ACA7017 or ACA7018 in advance of their Thursday game against the Blues. They will likely travel mid-morning to early afternoon.
Evening Travel
Oilers -> Home
The Oilers may fly home immediately after game two in LA. If they do choose to travel, they will do so on either ACA7039 or ACA7040.
Air Canada does not publish their flight plans ahead of time so we do not have anticipated departure times.
Canadiens -> Home
The Canadiens may fly home after game two in Washington. If they do choose to travel they will use either ACA7041 or ACA7042.
You can listen to your favourite team’s pilots via liveatc.net. Tune into either the arrival or departing airport 10-15 minutes before they are scheduled to do either and listen for the flight number.
