Sporting Events - Travel Deals

There are few things that are as satisfying as combining two things you love. For instance, if you’re a football fan who also likes to travel, what’s better than taking a trip to see the Super Bowl? It’s even better when you consider that the Super Bowl is almost always in a city that’s relatively warm in the winter, so that if you stay more than a day or two you’ll get the added benefit of a warm weather vacation in addition to a football game.

But if you also love saving money, then you’ll want to know all the tricks you could use to get a good deal on a trip to the Super Bowl in Miami, right? Well, one of them is to fly into a different city than Miami.

Wait, what?

You heard me. Yes, the 2010 Super Bowl is in Miami - but that doesn’t mean you only have one choice for airports in Miami to fly into. Yes, there’s a big airport located right in Miami - but there are also a couple other airports within a reasonable distance that are worth checking for cheap airfares, too.

Here are the alternate airports for Miami that you should look at if you’re hunting for cheap airfare to the Super Bowl (and a little bit about Miami International Airport, too, because we’re nice).

If you’re a hard-core football fan, then you’ve probably got “go to the Super Bowl” on your lifetime to-do list - whether or not it’s your team in the big game. Luckily, organizers typically give the Super Bowl to cities in the lower half of the United States - so even though the game’s in the winter, fans will get the added bonus of warm weather to go along with the championship game.

The upcoming Super Bowl is in Miami, so you’ll definitely get a break from winter weather right when you need it. And, if we can help you find cheap airfare to Miami for the Super Bowl, why not make an extended vacation out of it? That way, no matter what team wins, you’ll still come out with a victory in the vacation department.

Many of the tips for finding cheap airfare to the Super Bowl in Miami are the same as we’d give you for finding cheap airfare no matter what time of year it is. But since more people will be descending upon Miami for the big event, you do need to plan ahead a bit more than normal and may need to do a bit more research before you find the best prices on things like airfare and hotels.

Here are our top tips for getting cheap tickets to Miami for the Super Bowl.

Those sounds you heard this past weekend were the expressions of joy coming out of the mouths of football fans from coast to coast. With college football season underway and the NFL on its way, this is the favorite time of year for those of us who like to sit on the couch and watch grown men exercise. You can hardly blame us for shouting out loud.

Of course, watching football or any sporting event on television hardly compares to being in the stadium watching it in person. The roar of the crowd, the taste of overpriced food and beverages, the close-up views of the athletes and the cheerleaders…that is the essence of being a sports fan. You can capture it a bit from the comfort of your own home or even better you can combine a trip to a game with your travel plans.

If you’d like to follow your favorite team around early in the season, you’ll want to do yourself a favor and check out the sale that Southwest Airlines is currently offering. The prices are low, the flights are plentiful, and everyone knows that you have to be at the game when your team wins a big one.
