Flights to Sports Events FAQs

What is the best time to book flights for a sports event?

Generally, the ideal time to book flights for a sports event is 2-3 months in advance, however, it all depends on the type of event you're planning to attend. If you want to book flights to see big, popular events, like Formula 1 races or the Olympic games as an example, you'll want to consider booking your flights at least 6 months in advance to grab the best flight prices and seat availability.

You can also try to be flexible with your travel dates. If you're willing to fly on weekdays or during off-peak hours, you may be able to find cheaper flights!

What should I consider when booking flights for a sports event?

Before booking flights to a sports event, you'll want to consider the dates of the event, the location, the size of the city hosting the event, the time of year, your own travel budget and whether you're willing to fly into a nearby airport or not.

Are there any special considerations for booking flights to international sporting events?

If you're travelling to an international sporting event, you will need to make sure you have a valid passport and any necessary visas. You may also want to consider getting travel insurance that covers medical evacuation, as this can be expensive if you're participating in an event and you're not covered.

Can I pay later for flights to sports events?

Absolutely! At Alternative Airlines, we offer flexible Buy Now Pay Later payment methods such as Afterpay, Klarna, Sezzle and Atome, among many others. This means you can spread the cost of your flights to any sports event of your choice over time. This is handy if you're planning to see major sporting events such as the Super Bowl or Wimbledon.
