America’s big game is set to take place in just a few short weeks, and while flocking to New Orleans for the Super Bowl is not necessarily a cheap affair, there are still deals to be found.
Travelers hoping to watch the two top NFL teams compete for the championship in Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9 (or watch what is likely to be an epic Kendrick Lamar halftime performance) can find flights to the city for less than $200 roundtrip, according to data from Going.com shared with Travel + Leisure.
“There’s a feeling of magic when you get a flight for far less than you’d expected to pay. And that’s doubly true at events where everything else — tickets, hotels, merch — is pricey,” Scott Keyes, the founder and chief flight expert at Going, told T+L. “The good news is that the Going travel app is helping people get great flight deals to the Super Bowl and other big events. It doesn’t matter whether you’re flying from a big hub like New York City or a smaller airport like Portland, we will help you avoid overpaying for flights to New Orleans.”
While flight prices for the big game are typically going for $500 to $750 roundtrip (or 15,000 to 20,000 points), Going has found deals for much less for fans from the top playoff teams still in the hunt.
Philadelphia Eagles fans, for example, can fly from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to New Orleans starting at just $157 roundtrip. The ride from Philly takes just over an hour.
Bills fans can score tickets from Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) to the game starting at just $317 roundtrip, while Washington Commanders fans can head out from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) starting at just $261 roundtrip.
And Kansas City Chiefs fans can support their team for less by opting to fly out of nearby Springfield-Branson National Airport (SGF) in Springfield, Missouri, or out of Eppley Airfield (OMA) in Omaha for $207 and $297 roundtrip, respectively.
Once travelers get to New Orleans, they’ll be greeted with plenty of amazing places to stay, incredible food, and fun things to do from riding a streetcar to a swamp airboat tour, taking a ghost tour and more ahead of the big game.

"New Orleans is a city of mood,” chef Serigne Mbaye tells me one Wednesday morning in September. We've been discussing the merits of Parkway's po'boys and the old-school kitchen at Commander's Palace. While growing up in Senegal and New York City, Mbaye cooked with his mother, and his Uptown restaurant, Dakar NOLA, braids his memories of this time with his haute restaurant experiences and the deep-rooted African heritage of New Orleans.
