How do pro teams, and all the coaches, trainers, equipment et alia get from city to city? I could see short range bus trips, but say the Red Sox are going to Seattle then Oakland then LA…..commercial jet? charter jet that specializes in flying sports teams? and if by air, is there a special configuration…i.e. 60 business class seats?
If not who gets to sit up front and who in the back 6 accross?
thanks for the answers so far…but I’d like a little more detail…and yes I understand the Phillies would take a bus to NYC or Washington, or the Tigers a bus to Chicago…..but if a team is traveling by plane….I cant see flying commercial, especially since a baseball game has no time limit…Hello, American? Can you hold the 9:30 flight till whenever we get there? I have reservations for 79..name of Stienbrenner……..
SO is there a private company that specializes in this business with extra large seating?
Does one plane ‘belong’ to a team and it sits in the airport during a 3 game series?
Or does it drop the Sox in Seattle, take the Giants to New York, pick up KC and take them to LA and then get the Sox and take ‘em to Detroit?
oh yeah, we all realize A-Rod flies on his inflated ego….
