Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs (The Chiefs) football team just defeated the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday in the AFC Championship Game.
Thereby, the representative of Kansas City (USA) will be able to participate in the Super Bowl for the 4th time in the last 5 years.
Their opponents in the Super Bowl are the San Francisco 49ers. The match will take place in Las Vegas at 6:30 p.m. on February 11, 2024 ET (US Eastern time).
Since announcing her relationship with Travis Kelce nearly half a year ago, Taylor Swift has always tried to appear at every match of The Chiefs to cheer her boyfriend.
This time, when The Chiefs continue to participate in the Super Bowl, Taylor Swift will not want to miss it because it is the most expensive match in the world.
Taylor Swift has completed 60 nights of The Eras Tour in 2023 and is preparing to enter 2024 with the first destination being Tokyo (Japan). Here, she will perform at the modern Tokyo Dome complex for 4 nights, from February 7 to February 11. The closing night also coincided with the day of the Super Bowl. The question is how can Taylor Swift fly back to America in time to support her boyfriend?
Answer is possible! One of the advantages for the 34-year-old female singer is the time zone difference. Las Vegas and Tokyo time will be 17 time zones apart, this is the time for Taylor Swift to “travel to the past”.
The Eras Tour in Japan will start at 4:00 p.m., but Taylor Swift won’t perform until 6:00 p.m. Normally, each show will last about 3 and a half hours.
In theory, the last show will end at 9:30 p.m. on February 11 (Tokyo time). After that, if you immediately go to Haneda airport, it will take about 30 minutes. If you check in quickly, just 1 hour after The Eras Tour in Tokyo ends, Taylor Swift will start the flight back to Las Vegas.
According to Business Insider, Taylor Swift owns two private planes, one is a Dassault Falcon 7X, the other is a Dassault Falcon 900. These are two private jets that the superstar born in 1989 regularly uses during The Eras Tour in the US. 2023.
The Falcon 900 (LX version) has a range of 4,750 nautical miles in one flight. Meanwhile, when full of fuel, the 7X can fly a distance of 5,906 nautical miles. The distance between Haneda (Tokyo) and Harry Reid’s (Las Vegas) airports, located near Allegiant Stadium, is 4,821 nautical miles (about 5,548 miles). Therefore, Taylor Swift can choose the Dassault Falcon 7X.
A manager of Paramount Business Jets (a private jet rental company) said that under normal conditions, flying from Haneda to Harry Reid will take about 10 hours – 10 hours and 30 minutes.
Therefore, if Taylor Swift leaves Tokyo at 10:30 p.m. on February 11, she will literally go back in time to land in Las Vegas at 4:00 p.m. on February 10, the day before the Super Bowl.
In theory, yes, but in reality, whether Taylor Swift can land in Las Vegas or not is the next thing to consider. A manager of Paramount Business Jets said that on Friday afternoon (February 9), Harry Reid Airport was empty.
This company previously received 4 orders to rent private jets to go to Las Vegas to watch the Super Bowl but eventually had to cancel because there were no more landing spots. This manager said that if you want a place to land on a plane, whether private or commercial, on the occasion of the Super Bowl, you need to register several months in advance.
As for the airlines, they are preparing for the Super Bowl event urgently. American Airlines promoted this match by coding the names of 15 flights after members of The Chiefs and Taylor Swift. For the female singer alone, American Airlines reserved 2 flights with the coded number 1989 – the name of one of the most successful albums of the 34-year-old superstar’s career.
In the worst case scenario of not being able to land in Las Vegas, Taylor Swift can land in Los Angeles at LAX or Van Nuys airport. After that, she can take a relatively long drive to Las Vegas.
If you choose this method, Taylor Swift will shorten the flight to less than 10 hours. Therefore, she may appear in LA around 3:30 p.m. on February 10.
Driving from LAX airport to the Allegiant Stadium area will take 4 – 5 hours depending on traffic volume. Taylor Swift can rest in Las Vegas before 9:00 p.m. on February 10 to prepare for the Super Bowl the next day.
