United Airlines is adding more than 40 direct flights between Kansas City to Las Vegas for the 2024 Super Bowl, where the Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers will play at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 11. The additional flights from Thursday, Feb. 8 to Monday, Feb. 12 will even celebrate pop culture’s buzziest power couple. Flight UA 1989 pays homage to Taylor Swift’s recently re-released 1989 (Taylor’s Version) album, while UA 2287 is a nod to the Grammy-winning musician’s song and her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s jersey number. There’s even UA 1587, a reference to the jerseys of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Kelce.
