I know there used to be charters of full size commercial airliners for saints fans for Falcons games years ago. Has anyone heard if this would be available for the SB if we make it there?

Thinking would fly home right after the game.

Bumping this again. Does anyone remember travel agencies that used to book these types of charter flights?

I’m envisioning a charter bus from the stadium to the airport about an hour after the game.

It is not unheard of for the Airlines to add flights around an event.

I would imagine there would not be much demand to fly back right after the game. If we win, people are going to want to hang out all night long.

I had a friend that did a charter to Miami. I want to say it was the flights, 3 nights in a hotel, game ticket, and 2 parties (one Sat night, one Sun afternoon)

It was around $3,000 I believe.

For round trip air, hotel, and a ticket? shite that’s a steal.

I did the charter flight to Miami for Super Bowl 44. It was a one day, round trip deal for $3,000 with a Super Bowl ticket included. The flight left around 8 AM out of NOLA, and we arrived in Miami for 11 AM Eastern time. They bussed us to a casino for drinks and whatnot for a few hours before heading to a pregame party with food and drinks by the stadium. From there, they bussed us to the stadium for the game. After the game was over, they bussed us back to the airport to catch our flight before arriving back in NOLA for around 2 AM that Monday morning.

It’s an experience I’ll never forget. I told my wife that if we ever make it again, I want to look into a deal like this again so she can experience it.

Yep, I worked for a TA, and we did that.
That's gone the way of Beta Max.
