Headed to Super Bowl LVII? Here are the best deals, according to experts

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

By Dannielle Beardsley February 4, 2023

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.

Your flight awaits

Where you’re coming from is going to make a huge difference when it comes to the cost of your flight. But our experts put together some of the best Super Bowl travel deals for you for Super Bowl 2023.

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.

Do you need a passport to travel in the U.S. in 2024?

Find out what kind of ID you need to travel domestically

Travel is tricky enough, but to add to the already confusing world of air travel, the U.S. government has been teasing us with updated identification requirements for what seems like forever. After years of changed dates, extended deadlines, and general defiance at the state level, there’s still a lot of confusion around the REAL ID Act, particularly when it comes to modern air travel. So, do you need a passport to travel within the U.S. once this goes into effect?
Direct answer: You will not need a passport to travel within the US in 2024 or 2025, when the REAL ID Act goes into effect, though you can use one. Most people will use a REAL ID compliant driver's license. These are already being issued and can be identified by the star in the upper right hand corner of the ID.
Read on to see more about what this means and how do you prepare if your ID isn't already compliant? We’ll clear a few things up regarding this issue and explain the use of your passport when traveling domestically.

The REAL ID Act basics
For starters, the REAL ID Act was slated to become law back on Oct. 1, 2020. However, the unprecedented circumstances of the last few years — traveling during the COVID-19 pandemic in particular — pushed the execution date. Now that date has been changed yet again. According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), all U.S. travelers must meet the REAL ID requirements to board domestic flights by May 7, 2025 (it was last slated for May 3, 2024, with October 1, 2021, and then to May 3, 2024, as the dates before then). While you may not need a passport to travel, you will need a REAL ID.
Every state will require a REAL ID
If you thought maybe your state wouldn't comply with the act, we're sorry to say that every territory and state will require a REAL ID. Some states have already started issuing them, so you may have one.
The REAL ID won't get you everywhere
For trips to Mexico (by land) and Canada, and other international travel, you will still need a passport to enter. The REAL ID isn't a substitute for your passport.
The REAL ID isn't a passport
When you get your new ID, it doesn't replace a passport. This can't be used to fly outside of the U.S., but it could be used as a second form of ID. It's also not a visa, it's just your ID taken up a notch.

The 5 best Super Bowl commercials of all time (and the 4 worst)

What's your favorite Super Bowl commercial?

Watching the Super Bowl on TV.

If you're watching the Super Bowl, you're likely interested in at least one of at least three different things. You might be watching for the game itself, which is often exciting and is the culmination of months of football. You might be watching for the halftime show, which also varies in quality but is always worth discussing. Or, you might be watching for the Super Bowl commercials (you could also just be hanging around for the food).

Indeed, major corporations shell out huge amounts of money to debut ads during the Super Bowl, and it's typically where the most prominent ads of the year are produced. Over the years, we've seen some truly great Super Bowl ads, as well as some genuinely awful ones. Here are the five best Super Bowl commercials ever, along with the four worst.
