How much would you pay to go to the Super Bowl?
Luxury packages for events like the presidential inauguration, the Olympic Games and the Super Bowl are nothing new, but in recent years, industry professionals have noticed a rise in “ultraluxe” travel — very expensive, private and customizable V.V.I.P. travel and event services. Take the Fairmont’s $350,000 package in Washington for the recent inauguration, a four-night deal that included round-trip flights for four people (and pets) from any location in the United States, a $25,000 Saks Fifth Avenue shopping spree and customized cocktails.
The price for sports packages doesn’t have to soar so high, according to Virtuoso, a network of luxury and travel agencies, which said typical pricing for such events range from $10,000 to more than $50,000.
“The consensus,” said Misty Belles, Virtuoso’s vice president of global public relations, “is that packages for big events like the Super Bowl and F1 sell out completely.”
If you can swing five to six figures for a single experience, here’s some travel and event packages that might appeal.
For the Super Bowl on Feb. 9 in New Orleans, the luxury hospitality and ticketing agency On Location sells packages that start at $7,050 per person and include a pregame party, open bar and a ticket to a private concert with Ludacris. A pricier offering, for $62,000, has an “all inclusive” option with seats on the 50-yard line, entry to a V.I.P. club, concierge services and a hotel stay.
Roadtrips, a luxury sports travel group, also has Super Bowl packages, from $11,895 to $15,985 per person, which include game tickets, transportation during the weekend and a “V.I.P. Tailgate Party” where N.F.L. players make an appearance and the food is made by a celebrity chef.

Manchester United's Old Trafford is one of the most iconic football (or soccer, to you Americans) stadiums in the sport's history, and its hallowed turf has played host to some of the club's most pivotal moments.
I've heard several sad tales of guests sauntering up to a Disney World ride only to be turned away because the ride doesn't have a traditional standby line. While disappointing to the uninitiated, this isn't an uncommon practice. Disney has several methods for accessing attractions, including a standby queue, Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Single Pass, Lightning Lane Premier Pass and a virtual queue system.

If you've seen higher prices lately for redeeming your Marriott Bonvoy points, you're not alone. Award rates have increased at several Marriott properties — but paid rates are also on the rise as well. So are you actually getting less value for your points, or do you just need more to coincide with the cash rate?
Gastrointestinal illnesses are on the upswing this winter. Norovirus is chief among them, raising concerns for many travelers — particularly cruisers — that they might end up on the toilet instead of a sun lounger on their next vacation.
Traveling with kids can be challenging enough as it is—let alone when long lines and jetlag are involved. For families hoping to avoid an airport meltdown at all costs, getting Global Entry for your kids is one of the easiest things parents can do to simplify the process of returning home after an international trip.
The new qualification year for Delta Air Lines SkyMiles elite status kicked off earlier this month, and the Atlanta-based carrier is offering up its latest way for Medallion members to show off their status.
Before my days at TPG, I didn't know much about airline elite status nor did I particularly care. Lounge access and first-class upgrades felt like something only attained by road warriors who flew weekly and only saw their families on the weekends.

Air New Zealand has long factored sleep into its decisions, coming up with creative solutions to help its passengers find a sense of calm and peace on ultra-long-haul flights (up to 18 hours from the United States). The Auckland-based flag carrier first came up with the Skycouch—three side-by-side economy seats with footrests that pull up to form a “couch”—in 2011, changing the travel game for families with young children, couples, and solo travelers willing to pay for a bit more space.
