Coastal Clash: Alaska & JetBlue Scale Up For Super Bowl LX

Super Bowl fans are getting more options to travel to see their favourite teams in action, with most major airlines adding additional flights to and from San Jose and San Francisco. Alaska Airlines alone has added 16 addtional round trip flights from SEA, while JetBlue is providing more services between New England and California.

This comes as the Seattle Seahawks knocked out the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC this past Sunday, which secured their spot in Super Bowl LX. The Super Bowl LX is scheduled to be played on Sunday, February 8, at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Both Alaska Airlines and American Airlines are ramping up services between Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and San Jose (SJC) to cater to additional demand.

American Airlines will also provide special flights from Seattle to San Jose on February 5, 6, and 7, departing Seattle at 1:15 pm, and arrive into San Jose at 3:27 pm.

Star Alliance partner United Airlines is also adding additional services from Boston to Super Bowl LX.

Alaska, American, JetBlue, and United aren’t the only carriers looking to cash in on Super Bowl LX travel, with many other US carriers also adding additional frequencies to and from San Francisco / San Jose. Travel demand to and from SFO and SJC is expected to soar for the February weekend, and could see more additional services added.
