I'm driving from Tucson to Phoenix on Friday. I'll be in Buffalo LATE Friday night. Going to the game, flying back on Sunday and arriving home around midnight that night. What airline? With the elimination of the direct PHX-BUF flight by Southwest, there is no easy way to get between AZ and BUF. For the Green Bay game this year, I booked on Frontier, my flight in through Denver was cancelled, and I had to buy a last-minute seat on American through Philly. It was a VERY long day. I left my house at 3:45 AM and landed in Buffalo around 10:30 PM. Frontier actually got me back home the day after the game. So that was my longest travel to a Bills game. Phoenix to Philly to Buffalo, or around 2,300 flight miles. The way back was Buffalo-Orlando-Phoenix, or about 2,800 flight miles. Also got to see a Sabres win that weekend! Had a blast and can't wait for the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying out of Phoenix at like 1250, then laying over in Denver for a few hours before flying to Buffalo at 10:50pm. Then flying out of Buffalo at 11:35am Sunday, and laying over in Denver for almost 6 hours. I'll be in Phoenix by 9:30pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerDave Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 4 hours ago, Metal Man said: Went from Buffalo to San Francisco in 2001 for a SNF football game and was treated to a 35-0 beat down. The good old Rob Johnson years. I was at that game as well. The Bills were Offside on the opening kickoff and went downhill from there... 😖 The Niners fans around us were all "We're gonna kill you guys!" at the beginning of the game. By the end of the game, they were asking "Are you going to be okay? What can we do to help you out?" Gotta love Californians. 🤪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 10.5 hours for the Browns game this year!

BillsNutHawaii Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 From Hawaii - its an annual thing now for me to come back home to Western New York once a year to see a game. Cant wait to move back to Rochester, (Suburb of Webster), and get my season tickets. Been considering getting Bills season tickets for 2023, (Even while residing in Hawaii), and just fly in to Buffalo for as many games as I can. Expensive, but worth it!!! Love the Bills and love the people of Western NY! Due to my career choice, I've had the opportunity to see the world and meet people from all over. You people in Western NY are the best - I'm just not sure you know it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billichka Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Melbourne, Australia to Buffalo is 10,127 miles (according to travelmath.com) in November 2000. This is my one and only attendance at a Bills game - and what a game it was! We were victorious at Ralph Wilson stadium versus the Bears 20 - 3. The highlight was seeing Doug Flutie rush for a TD . The atmosphere in the stadium (and outside before the game) was incredible and is something I will never forget! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverboat Ritchie Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Miles wise probably this year from Nor cal where we live to Baltimore. Time to get to game and everything probably nor cal to greenbay during 18 I think. Most interesting though might be the Hurricane game in San Antonio.

sirebors Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) Flew to Vegas. Placed a $1000 bet on the Bills. Then drove to Pasadena to watch the Bills get destroyed 52-17 in Superbowl 27. Heckled relentlessly by Dallas fans the entire game. Got to see Garth Brooks sing the National Anthem. Michael Jackson halftime show. Don Beebe chase down Leon Lett. And OJ Simpson coin toss a year before he murdered Nicole. Long drive back to Vegas and flight back to Buffalo.

Tulsabillsfanz Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Tulsa to Buffalo. It was the September 2011 game that we came back from 21 points down to beat Brady & the Patriots! I combined a business trip in central Michigan with an ending weekend in Buffalo. My kids were thrilled to miss school for a week until they realized my wife would work them harder on schoolwork at the hotel than their actual school! At the game, a Patriots fan was sitting behind us, talking how he had an 8 hour drive home to Maine after the game. I told him I had an 18 hour drive home to Oklahoma after the game. We had to have my high school age son home in time to catch a noon travel bus to Oklahoma City for a JV football game. We literally watched Buffalo’s winning field goal, got in our SUV & drove home to Tulsa, arriving at around 9:00 AM central time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
