If Taylor Swift plans to travel directly from her Tokyo concert to Las Vegas to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce at the Super Bowl the next day, she must have already secured a parking spot for her private aircraft, according to airport and Federal Aviation Administration officials.

Currently, all available parking spaces at airports in and around Las Vegas have been claimed. With just over a week left until the NFL championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, there are approximately 475 parking spaces in total at the four airports in close proximity to Las Vegas, as confirmed by Heidi Hayes, a spokesperson for the Clark County Department of Aviation.
The final Tokyo show of Swift's Eras Tour is scheduled for February 10th. Considering the time zone differences, if she departs at midnight, it will be 7 a.m. on Saturday in Las Vegas.
As of Thursday, there has been no response from a spokesperson for Swift regarding her plans to attend the Super Bowl, her travel arrangements, or where her pilots could park a plane.
It is worth noting that Swift owns multiple private jets, one of which is a Dassault Falcon 900. This particular aircraft can accommodate at least 12 passengers and has a maximum speed of 590 mph (950 kph).
Assuming there are no delays, if Swift's flight to Las Vegas takes approximately 11 or 12 hours, she could potentially arrive in Las Vegas the day before the game. This would involve crossing nine time zones and the international date line.
Las Vegas has fewer airports compared to Glendale, Arizona, where the Super Bowl took place last year. In 2023, the WM Phoenix Open golf tournament coincided with the Super Bowl week. According to Breitenfeldt from the FAA, all 1,100 aircraft parking pads in the Phoenix area were already reserved.
According to Brian McCarthy, the NFL does not manage aircraft reservations.
There could potentially be openings remaining for what Hayes and Breitenfeldt referred to as "drop-and-go" flights. This refers to the scenario where pilots disembark passengers and subsequently fly to a different airport for parking purposes.
