The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Minnesota Vikings play a regular season NFL game in Dublin, Ireland today – but the flights over were very different experiences.
For Pittsburgh, the city continues to court international carriers. Nearby Cleveland has several subsidized flights weekly to Dublin on Aer Lingus using a low stakes A321-NEO. Counter that with Pittsburgh’s own subsidized London flight on a British Airways 787, interest in connecting Pittsburgh and Dublin (and onward to major European metros) could be explored more seriously following the series.
Most #NFL teams that play international games charter larger planes so that most of their players can sit in business and first class.pic.twitter.com/onffLYArQV
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
