American Airlines join the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce Super Bowl hype by adding two direct flights from Kansas City to Las Vegas… with a VERY obvious nod to the superstar couple
American Airlines has hopped on the Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift bandwagon, after the Kansas City Chiefs advanced to next month’s Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
Patrick Mahomes, Kelce and Co defeated the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 in the AFC Championship to book themselves a spot in the big game once again.
American Airlines posted a flight from Kansas to Vegas – numbered AA 1989 – the day before the Super Bowl, and return flight from Vegas to KC, numbered AA 87.
Although some NFL fans have called for the league and media covering the sport to focus less on Kelce and Swift’s relationship, those interested in the couple were treated to a huge moment after they kissed on the field following the Chiefs win.

Kelce found his girlfriend as he waited for the AFC Championship trophy presentation in emotional scenes, and Swift looked almost tearful as the couple had a moment to celebrate together with the eyes of the world on them.
And when Kelce duly got on stage and took the mic, he was euphoric – channeling the Beastie Boys by shouting: ‘You’ve got to fight for your right to party!’
Swift now turns her attention to four nights of her blockbuster Eras Tour in Japan’s capital from February 7-10, before she is set to race back to the Allegiant Stadium on the west coast for the biggest night in America’s sporting calendar.
She and Travis took center stage for the post-game celebrations but during the showdown itself, the singer appeared frustrated at appearing on the CBS coverage around the midway stage. She could be seen clearly saying ‘go away, please’ with the camera lingering on her in a VIP suite while advertising next weekend’s Grammy’s.
