- Southwest and Delta have added almost 40 combined flights for the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
- Most tickets in Southwest cost more than $ 500, with 31 new flights available.
- The Delta tickets were as low as $ 201 but reached their maximum point higher than their budget rival.
The airlines have added last minute flights for the Super Bowl, and are charging the demand.
After the Sunday conference championship games, it was confirmed that this year’s great game will make Kansas City chiefs face the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans.
Southwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines announced the same day that additional flights would operate.
The budget carrier is adding 31 flights to the Super Bowl: 15 in the two days before the February 9 event, and 16 the following Monday.
They will operate from Kansas City or Philadelphia, which is generally not treated by Southwest.
The cheapest unidirectional ticket found by Business Insider on Tuesday morning was $ 384, with a greater amount of $ 500. The most expensive seemed to be a unidirectional ticket from Kansas City to New Orleans on February 8, to $ 798.
Delta is adding seven flights for the weekend of the Super Bowl, with a total capacity of more than 1,300 seats.
Some of these tickets seemed to be cheaper than the southwest.
The non -scales flight from Kansas City to New Orleans on February 8 had basic economic seats at $ 201, but only two left at this price.
Football fans traveling from Philadelphia would need to pay at least $ 500 with Delta. In the other direction on its non -scales flight on Monday it was $ 980 in economics or more than $ 2,500 in first class.
Even so, the new non -stop flights that airlines have added seem to be cheaper than flying with a scale.
