The 2025 Super Bowl kicks off at 6:30 p.m. on February 9. Featuring a mix of strength, skill, and drama, the game is one of the world’s greatest spectacles in sports. This season, the Philadelphia Eagles’ muscular offense and defense face off against the Kansas City Chiefs’ attempts for a fourth title since 2020.

Though the game offers plenty of excitement on TV, there’s nothing like watching football in person.

To help more fans get there, JetBlue is offering limited time nonstop flights to from the New York metro area to New Orleans. Here are the details.

At the summit, Bruno Fichefeux, Head of Future Programmes at Airbus, said: “We cannot do it with incremental optimization, this will come with disruption, this will come through clean sheet design. It’s a research and technology phase, where we mature many technologies, and when we combine them together we need to look at what are the best trade-offs – which paths do we open, which do we close? We are not there yet.”
