If you’re looking to travel to a Minnesota Vikings away game, you might want to start booking flights.
Following various leaks of the Vikings’ 2023 schedule, flights from Minnesota to various away game locations have increased.
According to Google’s flight tracker, tickets to Las Vegas for their Dec. 10 game are $265. Flights from Minneapolis to Las Vegas are often under $200, but supply and demand means higher ticket prices.
According to the Star Tribune’s Ben Goessling, tickets to Las Vegas are up $90 from just a few hours ago.
Flights to Vegas for the #Vikings' Dec. 10 game there have already jumped $90 since this afternoon.

According to KSTP-TV’s Chris Long, the same can be said for the Vikings’ week 11 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The cheapest flight to Denver for the Nov. 19 weekend is currently $192, but the second-cheapest one increases to north of $300.
If myriad leaks are believed, this is the #Vikings 2023 schedule. Official release is tonight.
Notably, airfares to Denver and Vegas (surely others, but I happened to have trackers on those two routes) have skyrocketed for the leaked dates.

These situations shouldn’t come as a surprise. Ultimately, plane tickets are dictated by supply and demand. When the dates of the Vikings’ away games were unclear, people were not booking flights. However, leaks to the NFL schedule allowed people to book flights.
Outside of the Vikings’ normal NFC North opponents, the Vikings will also play the Philadelphia Eagles, Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders, Atlanta Falcons, and Cincinnati Bengals on the road.
