(This is a barely distinct model of a story we wrote for NBC News online)
Football’s large day is arising. The Los Angeles Rams are set to play the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl 2022 on Sunday, February 13 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA, less than four miles from Los Angeles International Airport.
If that is the yr you are determined to be in the stands on sport day – or at least in town for the festivities – here are some hints on a way to get there, e book a resort, and get a price ticket to the game.
Spoiler alert: It won’t be reasonably-priced.
Flying in for the Big Game
Local Rams fanatics can skip the plane ticket search due to the fact this year’s Super Bowl is being performed in the group’s home stadium. But Cincinnati Bengals enthusiasts and others hoping to fly in for the sport have a brief window to look for and lock in remaining-minute flight deals.
The proper news is that further to the bustling Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) there are a couple of business airports in the location. So, sports fanatics who don’t discover a accurate fare into LAX can extend their seek to nearby, smaller airports such as Long Beach (LGB), Burbank (BUR), Ontario (ONT), and others to evaluate fares. Plus, some airways, along with United, American, and Delta have introduced extra flights to assist Cincinnati residents make their way to LA.
With the game only some days away, there are still flights available, says Scott Keyes, founding father of Scott’s Cheap Flights, “But it’s getting extra hard to get them reasonably-priced.”
In addition to increasing the pool of towns (at both ends) while using search engines like google to find fares, Keyes says tourists should keep in mind that Southwest Airlines flights simplest appear at the Southwest web page. Fans may also be capable of locate better-priced flights by using expanding their travel dates past the weekend. “Consider making it per week-lengthy vacation,” says Keyes. “Because fares will truly drop by way of 1/2 the next weekend.”
Daily rental car rates, and the parking costs at accommodations and at the stadium can be quite hefty, so Keyes also suggests checking car rental fees on Turo, an Airbnb-type service for condominium vehicles, or relying on rides hailing services inclusive of Uber and Lyft to get round.
Wing in on a personal jet

If you may’t discover a proper fare for a industrial flight or don’t need to deal with the problem, every other choice to recollect is flying in for the big game on a personal jet.
In element, due to the fact the Rams are the house team and the Bengals are a small market crew, the number of personal jets heading to the game is expected to be beneath the file-stages set in 2014, whilst the Super Bowl become performed in New York/New Jersey, and in 2020 whilst Miami hosted the massive recreation, says Doug Gollan Editor-in-Chief of Private Jet Card Comparisons.
But there are nonetheless masses of private jets heading to the Los Angeles vicinity for the sport this year and masses of seats for the ones willing to pay the price and be given surcharges which can range as much as one hundred%.
“From Cincinnati to Los Angeles and back on a jet that seats eight passengers, I might expect the fare to be around $100,000,” says Gollan, “Although usually you could in all likelihood get that flight from around $70,000 roundtrip.”
While there are plenty of upsides to flying to and from the sport on a personal jet, Gollan notes that with one-off charters there can be some downsides. “If your provider cancels your flight, they gained’t simply rebook you on the subsequent flight, as air carriers do,” he says. “They will requote the journey pricing based on the new aircraft they’ve sourced as a replacement, and you can both pay the brand new – better price or get money back.”
And that may not be perfect for those who have recreation tickets and nonrefundable inn and limo reservations.

She stated further to some unseen precautions in order to be in vicinity, vacationers could be able to spot a number of the extra than 30 TSA explosive detection canines and handlers working on the airport and different Super Bowl venues in the LA place.
