Two teen girls are offering to take a popular boy band on a private flight and tour of Toronto and Niagara Falls when they're in the area for a concert next weekend.
Daria Ketelaars, 12, and Zoe Simmons, 13, call themselves One Direction "superfans," and have reached out to the five-member band with a unique offer.
Ketelaars and Simmons, both in Grade 8 from Aurora, Ont., published a video invitation online asking Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson to join them on a tour.
They mailed a copy of the video to the band, along with homemade T-shirts that say "Daria Zoe Toronto City Tour 2014."
"We want to meet them really badly," Simmons said in an interview on CTV's Canada AM on Thursday morning.
"We know other bands do meet-and-greet tickets but we couldn't find any for One Direction, so we thought we'd make our own way to meet them."
The girls would arrange transportation to a private hangar at the Buttonville Airport in Buttonville, Ont. when the band is in Toronto for the first time for their Aug. 2 concert.
The group of seven would then go on an hour-long low-altitude flight around Toronto and Niagara Falls, flown by Ketelaars' father who is a pilot. Ketelaars' father has a plane that seats four, so the girls said if the entire band decides to come, they'll rent a plane.
The girls said that flight instructors could teach the band how to safely perform takeoff, climb and keep the plane steady while in the air.
They've also offered the band a lunch of egg salad sandwiches so they don't get hungry.
