Watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens two days early, as long as you fly over the Atlantic ocean

There has apparently been 'quite a bit of interest' in the package from die-hard fans already

The US gets Star Wars: The Force Awakens on 18 December, the UK on the 17th, but it is possible to see it as early as the 16th - as long as you book a flight from the States to Paris.

Air France has partnered with Disney and Lucasfilm to present a ‘Flight & Cinema’ package, which will grant anyone who books onto one of four specific flights to Paris on 15 December tickets to one of two special pre-screenings of JJ Abrams’ sequel.

It’s a pretty bizarre promotion, with the flights leaving San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York, costing $1,400 and coming with a side of jet-lag for your movie-watching experience.

A “complimentary ride” from Charles De Gaulle airport will take die-hard fans to EuropaCorp’s theater in nearby Tremblay, where the film will be screened in English at 12:45 PM and 3:30 PM local time on 16 December.

Deadline reports that “there has been quite a bit of interest” already.

There’s no hotel or return flights included in the package though, so after your Star Wars fix you’re pretty much just stuck in northern France.

For the sane, Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in cinemas across Europe on 17 December.
