The upcoming Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers has generated quite the buzz, not just for the game itself but also for the unique and creative approach taken by American Airlines and United Airlines. Both carriers have added special flights to cater to football fans, with a playful nod to pop sensation Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce.
American Airlines Soars with Swift and Kelce-Inspired Flights
American Airlines is leading the way with its inventive flight numbers. Two flights, numbered 1989, are set to take off on Friday, February 9, and Saturday, February 10, from Kansas City, bound for the host city of Las Vegas. The number 1989 not only signifies the year of Taylor Swift’s birth but is also an homage to her immensely popular album, making it a perfect choice for fans of the singer.
In addition to the “Swiftie” flights, American Airlines is offering Flight 87, departing Las Vegas on February 12. The number 87 corresponds to Travis Kelce’s jersey number, celebrating the star tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Chiefs, also gets his share of recognition with three flights in honor of his jersey number, 15.
United Airlines Joins the Fun
United Airlines is not one to be left out of the excitement. They, too, are introducing Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce-themed flight numbers between Kansas City and Las Vegas during Super Bowl weekend. This fun twist is sure to resonate with fans of both the NFL and pop music.
United Airlines is also paying homage to the San Francisco 49ers by offering special flights from the city. The flight numbers 1995 and 1849 hold significance for 49ers fans. The former represents the last time the 49ers clinched a Super Bowl victory, while the latter references the historic year of the California Gold Rush.
A Super Bowl Tradition
While the concept of special flights to Super Bowl host cities is not new, American and United Airlines are taking it to a whole new level with their creative flight numbering. Fans traveling to the Super Bowl, scheduled for Sunday, February 11, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, have a unique opportunity to embrace their love for music, football, and history through these cleverly named flights.
The excitement surrounding this year’s Super Bowl has reached unprecedented levels, and airlines are thrilled to be part of the action. Whether you’re a die-hard football fan, a music enthusiast, or someone with a passion for history, these special flights offer a fantastic way to make your journey to the Super Bowl a memorable one.
So, as fans gear up for the ultimate showdown between the Chiefs and the 49ers, they can also look forward to a journey filled with a touch of Swift and Kelce magic, all thanks to American and United Airlines.
