Grab your flight to watch Super Bowl 2023 before prices get any higher

The snacks are being planned, bets are being placed, and Phoenix is getting to host for the fourth time. That’s right, the Super Bowl is here. Between the game and Rihanna making her comeback after a five-year hiatus to headline the halftime show, this year’s Super Bowl LVII is going to be one of the most insane ones yet.

If you want to make the trip to Phoenix to watch the Eagles take on the Chiefs in person, you better get your butt moving. The longer you wait, the higher those plane ticket prices will get. But don’t let that make you panic-buy the first ticket you find. We spoke to the experts at Skyscanner for the best Super Bowl flight deals.

If Philadelphia is your fly-out point

If you’re flying into Phoenix from Philly on the Friday before the game, and want a direct flight, Frontier is your cheapest bet, starting at $432.

If you want to get there in the fastest time, United will run you at least $859. It just gets worse from there.

Delta will cost you upwards of $1,169, while American is squeezing $1,555 out of those last-minute football fans. If you don’t want to wake up too early, an afternoon flight with American will cost at least $2,000. 

If Kansas City is your home team

If you’re a Kansas City Chiefs fan, you’ll get the best deal with United, which has flights for only $390.

If every second matters to you, American can shave 10 minutes off your flight for $475. If you don’t want an ungodly time for your flight out, American has you covered for $558.

Delta is pretty consistent between the destinations, with their more convenient flight times starting at $1,109.

Everyone has their preference when it comes to their flight — whether they mind switching planes or getting up to drive to the airport when some people are getting to bed. But if you are paying the prices those seat tickets are going for, look through these Super Bowl flight deals before you book.

What is airport theory? Here’s why I’ll never try this risky trend
This flawed trend isn't for me
Man standing in airport looking at flight schedule

I love to travel, so it's no surprise that I'm on "airport TikTok"-- with a "for you" page full of various travel video shorts ranging from airport tips to bucket list destinations. Even though I travel almost every month, the first video I saw that tested the airport theory instantly made me anxious (and I wasn't even the one who needed to catch the flight).

The airport theory suggests people get to the airport too early, challenging them to arrive no sooner than 15 to 20 minutes before the flight's departure. While it might be true that people arrive at the airport too early, I'll still never try this risky travel trend. Here's why.

Can you fly without an ID? Here’s the lowdown
You’re probably not expecting this answer
Man in an airport

We've all heard the golden rule of travel: ID in hand before you even think about heading to the airport. It's drilled into us as a must-do for getting through security and onto your flight. I remember just last year, I was rushing to catch an early morning flight, coffee in one hand, suitcase in the other, and it wasn't until I was practically at the security line that a little voice in the back of my head asked, "Wait, where's your ID?" My heart skipped a beat as I frantically patted my pockets and rummaged through my carry-on. 

Thankfully, there it was, tucked safely in my wallet. But that moment of near-panic got me thinking: what actually happens if you do forget or lose your ID on the way to the airport? Is it a complete travel disaster? Can you fly without an ID? That's the burning question we're tackling today. Let's unpack what you need to know if you ever find yourself in this situation.

Insights on what to avoid when picking a travel outfit

From the days of flying in your Sunday best to wearing those velour tracksuits, plane attire has changed a lot over the years. Picking out what to wear these days could mean wearing your pajamas or choosing your favorite outfit to go out in right when you land.

But there are some definite don'ts when it comes to your wardrobe for the flight, no matter what. I’ll never forget when I decided to wear brand-new, tight jeans to the airport without thinking twice. Big mistake. Halfway through my flight, I was shifting in my seat and counting down the hours until I could peel them off.
