What type of deals did everyone get for their flight? I paid 60k united miles. I feel like I’ve been robbed.
Arrive Sat morning leave Mon afternoon

I’ve got a tracker set up to track price changes, dropped like 50 bucks a ticket over the weekend briefly and then went right back up just going to bite the bullet here soon

Already booked out of BR . The price depends on when you fly out and come back . Also Nola has direct flights with all airlines to Vegas . If you’re trying to fly cheap I recommend southwest or spirit out of Nola but they don’t release flights until like 6 or 7 months before and fill up quick

Flights are cheaper the closer you get to summer if you look at trends. Just wait.

Yup... been averaging between 2 and 3k for 2 tickets from BR or NOLA. Seriously considering not going if we can't get a cheaper flight

About $620 a ticket from Houston about a month ago. Annoying - went ahead and booked the room on points to make me feel better about it.

Gonna try and use my Delta miles. After the FSU game I’m wary of trusting to spend thousands of dollars for win

Still waiting to see if they announce more direct flights closer to the game. Prices are stupid high right now out of both BTR and MSY.

It's way too early to worry about flights. The game is over 6 months away. Some airlines don't even offer flights that far in advance. The ones who do will charge an arm and leg to the panic buyers. The best deals will be in the 3 month time period.

They’ve already opened more flights. I would expect even more potentially. The airlines clearly monitor these things and the need and demand.


I haven’t purchased tickets yet…. But I’ll be there by hook or by crook





ETA:
As stated above… it’s too early to worry and panic buy. There will be more flights and ticket prices will be cheaper few months from now

I booked last week and went with Thursday evening. extra night in Vegas is better than paying what they wanted for Friday.

OT: anyone know what side of the field we are on for this neutral site game?

Breeze Airlines has direct flights from Gulfport to/from Las Vegas. Not every day, though. American Airlines has a few more from Gulfport to Las Vegas but non are non-stop and more expensive. Breeze is a good deal if you can get your desired dates. Direct flight.

We haven’t booked yet but finally got a room at Bellagio. When did Vegas hotels get so expensive?
