American Airlines will also operate flights 9 and 99 on Tuesday, February 15th. Tickets for all flights are currently on sale and available through various airline booking channels.

An unsurprising array of additions

It is not uncommon for airlines to add flights for the big game. The Super Bowl is one of the most popular events in American sports, and airline scheduling planners typically pay close attention to the teams that make it and prepare to add flights in preparation for demand. Traditionally, it may seem too close of a booking curve to add these flights. However, given the schedule of football games, this is a known event with a short booking curve.

This is certainly a sizable amount of nonstop service between the two cities. These nonstop flights come in addition to the plethora of connecting flights that are also available. However, the schedules will not last beyond these select few days. Schedules will normalize from February 16th between Cincinnati and Los Angeles.

Pricing on tickets for roundtrip travel between the two airports is higher than it typically is as a result of high demand for passengers looking to visit for the Super Bowl. Travelers looking to take such a trip should keep an eye out as ticket prices are likely to go up as demand remains high.
