Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - Bills mafia is starting to make a presence in London for the NFL's Week 5 game between the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars.
"We're seeing three different types of travelers," said Elizabeth Carey with the AAA of Western and Central New York. "There's our group trip where people are going and there's some sightseeing involved. It's four nights and five days, so it's not very long. But others are making it a much bigger trip. They're going to Ireland and Scotland and then London. And still others are going to the game and then they're going somewhere else overseas."
The AAA's group trip to London is accommodating 50 fans, plus four representatives of the travel agency.
A motor coach is leaving AAA offices in Amherst on Thursday, heading to Toronto airport for a direct flight to London.
That trip is from Thursday until Tuesday. It includes a London city tour, a Bills Mafia themed dinner, a tour of Windsor Castle and a river cruise on the Thames River.
Carey has a few things for international travelers to keep in mind.
"If you're flying out of Buffalo airport, you'll be connecting, most likely, via Boston, New York City or Philadelphia, so you want to make sure you arrive early. Once you get to your connecting city, don't waste any time. Make sure you get to your gate and get through immigration and have your passport and other documents in place."
As far as what to pack and what to bring, Carey said pack lightly. "If you're just going to the Bills game, try to use a carry on to keep your luggage with you, in case there are any hiccups with your travel plans."
