Which Airline Missed Out on Super Bowl Fun?
2. Are there cheaper alternative airports?
Yes. See the chart below. Dayton isn’t bad and Chicago is even better. If you don’t mind the drive from Chicago to Indianpolis (about 180 miles), the saving could be worth it.
3. Are there cheaper days to fly than others?
Bingo. Head to the game the Tuesday and Wednesday before the game (Jan. 31, Feb. 1), and wait until the Tuesday after the game (Feb. 7) to head home, and you will pay less.
