How to Find Cheap Flights for NBA Road Trips

1. Fly From Secondary Airports

Many NBA cities are served by multiple airports. Secondary airports can often save you $50–$150 per ticket, and sometimes much more.

2. Travel 1–2 Days Before the Game

Avoid peak-day pricing by flying in earlier. Prices usually drop significantly for flights arriving one or two days before tipoff.

3. Cities With Competitive Flight Markets

Some NBA cities consistently offer cheap flight options due to heavy airline competition. Top cities include:
  • Dallas (DFW & DAL)
  • Atlanta (ATL)
  • Phoenix (PHX)
  • Orlando (MCO)
  • Las Vegas (LAS)

4. Avoid Bundled Travel Packages

Many packages mark up prices behind the scenes. GameJet keeps flights, hotels, and tickets separate so you always find the cheapest combination.

5. Use GameJet Alerts

GameJet automatically reminds you 14, 7, and 2 days before game day— helping you catch price drops and avoid last-minute fare spikes.

NBA travel doesn’t need to be expensive. With GameJet, fans can easily compare flights, hotels, tickets, and gear for any NBA away game.
