It Took Two Jets to Get Taylor Swift to the Super Bowl

Taylor Swift left her concert stage in Tokyo and made the 5,785-ish miles to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas with ease, arriving at around 12:55 p.m. local time on Sunday’s game day.

She flew the bulk of those miles—5,473 of them, from Tokyo’s Haneda Airport to Los Angeles International Airport—in a three-cabin Bombardier Global 6000 chartered from VistaJet and dubbed "The Football Era." The 14-time Grammy winner landed at LAX on Saturday at approximately 3:30pm Pacific time.

Though Swifties were wondering whether the megastar singer would hit the blacktop to make the four-hour drive to Vegas’s Allegiant Stadium, there’s new reporting that the billionaire girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce took to the skies a second time, on game day, in her own 19-passenger Dassault Falcon 7X.

Apparently, the private trijet had been flown in from Nashville, the country music capital where Swift owns a home, to Los Angeles County’s smaller—and more discreet—Burbank Airport. (Burbank to Las Vegas: 276 miles.)

It's a good strategy to purchase a business aircraft that can achieve 90 percent of your missions—and enlist a charter aircraft to handle those rare ultra-long-range flights. Doing so can reduce both costs and emissions, whether or not your plan is to end up in the arms of a Super Bowl-winning NFL player.
