Times make some sense as it saves a night of hotel - gives everyone time to get to airport post game.

Right. If they have free shuttle bus to/from Stadium. They won't be affected. If they want take Tri-Rail to Golden Glades or take a free shuttle bus.

United Adds 29 New Flights to Miami for the Big Game

Airline now offers more than 80 direct flights from its U.S. hubs including San Francisco, Los Angeles and 7 flights from Kansas City

CHICAGO, Jan. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- United Airlines is offering football fans across the United States more options to get to Miami for the Big Game. United is offering fans more than 5,600 seats through 29 additional nonstop flights to Miami from its seven U.S. hubs including Los Angeles and seven special point-to-point flights between Kansas City and Miami. Tickets are now available for purchase on united.com.

"This year we're offering football fans from every corner of the country more opportunities than ever to get to Miami for the Big Game including extra flights between San Francisco and Miami and new service between Kansas City and Miami," said Ankit Gupta, United's vice president of Domestic Network Planning.

No FLL love, but more service than I expected. I do wonder if UA is a bit hurt by being relatively late to the game (pun intended) by letting 4 days pass between when the teams were known and announcing extra service. The other airlines were much quicker to the punch.

Actually, JetBlue has already extra flights for Super Bowl weekend. They already have more than 5 flights SFO-FLL and Southwest Airlines has already extra flights OAK-FLL & MCI-FLL, as well.

Yup, they sure did. They just left SJC this early afternoon.

They just landed in MIA hours ago.

SFO-MIA Super Bowl Flight

On the 7am from SFO to MIA this morning. UA doing a great job marking the occasion. Activation at the gate with balloons, highlight reel etc. Once on the plane 49er flags and a 49er Miami poster at every seat. Great job and complements all around.
