After the games on Sunday, football fans all over the world will know who will be playing in Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans, La., on Feb. 3. Will it be the New England Patriots v. San Francisco 49ers? Or perhaps the Baltimore Ravens will take on the Atlanta Falcons in the big game.
For some football fans, it doesn’t matter who plays in the Super Bowl. Do you remember this commercial featuring the Never Miss a Super Bowl club? Today, the 46-year-old club claims only three members, so most Super Bowl attendees may wait to make plans to attend the game until they know their team made it all the way. (Or didn’t make it all the way, as the case may be!)
One company getting into the action is The Early Air Way, a private jet charter brokerage. Alex Early, CEO of The Early Air Way, says, “The moment we know who will be playing, the rush will begin.” Now is the time to make your transportation plans to the big game in the Big Easy.
New Orleans Lakefront Airport (KNEW)is the airport closest to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, and it recently added three new hangars to accommodate Super Bowl private jet traffic. In 2002, the airport had several hundred aircraft parked there for the Super Bowl, and they anticipate similar activity this year. If you’re planning on using its facilities for your trip, be sure to make reservations early as they are required!
