Take the bus.

Surprised the NFL doesnt have an airline sponsor/partner.

Would be funny to see a NFL team on a budget carrier with loads of luggage restrictions.

*waits for someone who doesn't read the article to say it's because of the pregame controversy*

Seems like NFL teams could afford to make it worth that carrier's time to charter a plane.

Subsidized NFL teams getting kicked off by subsidized US airlines, because the latter subsidized business wants to make more money off taxpayers who subsidize them..

They can just buy a fleet of Cessnas with all those billions they are making.

Do those carry 70 people?

ESPN August 2017, New England Patriots bought two 767s.

Used?

Will be chartering when not carrying the team?

Story reports yearly cost for ten trips, up to $4,000,000.

Nope, that's why I said a fleet of them!

 

[SlammedZero]

I am really surprised these teams don't just own their own jets. I know it is expensive but this is a billion dollar industry we are talking about, is it not?

Not a chance. Instead of card games and inflight video games these overgrown children may have to open a book instead

What books have you read, Skippy?

Books with pop-put pictures don't count
