In this informal commentary, the speaker offers practical advice for private‑jet owners traveling to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas. He explains that early bookings may secure a landing slot but often leave travelers without a parking space, forcing them to leave the aircraft and return later. When parking is available, the fees are typically exorbitant, making it cheaper to fly elsewhere and come back after a day or two. He then discusses fuel strategy: carrying extra fuel adds weight and increases burn, yet tankering fuel can be economical when destination fuel prices are high. Pilots perform detailed calculations—balancing weight, fuel burn, parking costs, and fuel charges—to determine the most cost‑effective plan.

The Super Bowl, New York to Las Vegas. Are they filling up out there, keep the plane full, or the other way around? So if you're going to go to the Super Bowl, if you booked early enough and were able to get a slot to land, the chances are you didn't get a parking space so that you'd have to leave and then come back in and pick you up later. If you were able to get a parking space, they ripped you on that parking space, and it was probably cheaper to fly it somewhere else and come back a day or two later. Crucial, fuel it up though. If you go anywhere in the US to Vegas, you can go back home without buying fuel. Yeah, pop it off or just— No, no, you have more fuel than you you're carrying more weight than you need, which means it's gonna burn more fuel. But if you are gonna go someplace where you know they're gonna fuck you on fuel charges, then you could tanker enough fuel to go there and come back. The pilot calculates all this stuff so that he knows what makes the most economical sense.
