Typical surge windows
INBOUND PEAK
48 hours before the Super Bowl opening day
Arrivals concentrate into a two-day band ahead of 8 February 2026. Primary host-metro reliever absorbs the majority of it, and slot plus FBO handling requests are typically exhausted first for morning arrivals.
OPENING-DAY COMPRESSION
06:00–12:00 local on day one
Same-day arrivals cluster in the morning window, when Rotating host city ground transfer times are also at their worst. Aircraft that cannot secure parking are repositioned to a secondary field after drop-off.
DEPARTURE PEAK
Final afternoon and evening of Super Bowl
The heaviest single-day movement of the Super Bowl period. Departure slots inside the three hours after the event closes are the scarcest commodity of the week.
REPOSITIONING TAIL
24–72 hours after the closing day
Aircraft that flew guests in leave empty, which is when Rotating host city empty-leg availability is at its annual high. This is the cheapest way to fly the corridor in either direction around Super Bowl.
BOOKING WINDOW
Slot reservations open roughly six weeks out and are consumed within days. Book the aircraft in December, before the conference championships decide the matchup — pricing rises sharply the week the teams are known.
Confirming inside this window is what determines whether you fly into the primary field or a secondary one.

- Do I need a slot and parking for Super Bowl?

- Can I use an empty leg to fly to Rotating host city?
- Inbound empty legs are rare in the run-up because aircraft are being positioned, not repositioned. Outbound empty legs immediately after Super Bowl are plentiful — set an alert on the corridor you want and take the aircraft as it leaves.
- What happens if my Super Bowl schedule moves?
- Departure timing changes are normal during event weeks. Rebooking a slot on the closing day is the hardest change to make, so we hold a provisional later slot on peak departures wherever the airport permits it.
