Kansas City Chiefs depart KCI, touch down in Las Vegas ahead of Super Bowl LVIII
Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Andy Reid and the rest of the reigning NFL champion Chiefs made their way from Kansas City to Las Vegas on Sunday, one week ahead of Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium.
The Chiefs, who are playing in their fourth Super Bowl in five years, boarded their flight at about 4 p.m. Central Time and were wheels up from Kansas City International a short time later.
They touched down at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas at about 5:15 p.m. local time — Las Vegas is in the Pacific Time Zone, so about 7:15 p.m. KC (Central) time.
The Chiefs will play the San Francisco 49ers in next weekend’s Super Bowl LVIII. Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m. The game is a rematch of Super Bowl LIV, won by the Chiefs in Miami.
The 49ers were scheduled to arrive in Las Vegas at 6:05 p.m. Pacific Time on Sunday, so a little less than an hour after the Chiefs.
The Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles in last year’s Super Bowl. They returned to the biggest stage in football by beating Baltimore in the AFC Championship Game.
The 49ers advanced to Super Bowl LVIII with a win against the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship Game.
