What a last-minute Super Bowl trip from Cleveland to New Orleans costs
The intrigue: As of Thursday, prices for a one-way fare from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport were still relatively cheap.
By the numbers: Prices for flying out Friday started at $171 on Expedia, while a ticket on Saturday was as low as $156.
Both would get you to New Orleans with plenty of time before kickoff at 6:30pm EST on Sunday.
Yes, but: If you wanted to fly back Monday, it will cost you more than $800.
If you come back on Wednesday, prices drop to $126.
Reality check: Of course, those are prices as of Thursday and the options will likely fluctuate daily.
Between the lines: Hotels for Super Bowl weekend are averaging $650 a night, according to Hotels.com.
Prices at last year's big game in Las Vegas averaged $747 a night.
Go deeper: Super Bowl ticket prices lower than last year

Stock Movers: EXPE, UAA, Sweetgreen
On this episode of Stock Movers: - Expedia (EXPE) are up after the online travel agency reported second-quarter results that beat expectations and raised its full-year forecast. Shares see likely resistance near $218 dating back to 2022's previous record. - Under Armour (UAA) is lower after forecasting worse-than-expected sales and profit for the current quarter, stalling a turnaround plan that was taking hold. The Baltimore, Maryland-based brand said revenue for its second quarter is expected to fall between 6% and 7%. Analysts on average projected a drop of almost 3%. So far this year, the stock had declined almost 20% as of the close on Thursday. - Pinterest (PINS) slumped in premarket trading after the search and discovery company reported adjusted second-quarter earnings that missed expectations. It also gave an Ebitda outlook in the range of $282 million to $302 million, compared with the consensus analyst estimate of $292.4 million. Bloomberg Intelligence highlighted ad-pricing weakness as a headwind to growth. - Sweetgreen (SG) is lower after it slashed its sales guidance after a second straight quarter of disappointing results, highlighting the salad chain's struggles to sell $15 salads to budget-strained diners. CEO Jonathan Neman said the quarter's performance reflected macroeconomic challenges and subdued trends in the industry, particularly in several of the company's biggest urban markets. Sweetgreen is also discontinuing its ripple fries, Neman said, citing the complexity the menu item added to kitchens.

Expedia shares soar on upbeat forecast, US travel rebound
(Reuters) -Shares of Expedia surged more than 17% in premarket trading on Friday, after the online travel agent raised its full-year gross bookings forecast and struck an optimistic tone on the recovery in U.S. travel demand. Expedia is the latest travel company to hint at a rebound in demand, following weakness earlier this year when consumers fretted over the economic impact of President Donald Trump's tariff policies. "Since the beginning of July, we've seen an uptick in overall travel demand, particularly in the U.S.," CEO Ariane Gorin said on the earnings call on Thursday. The company expects 2025 gross bookings to grow between 3% to 5%, up 1 percentage point from its earlier forecast. Morningstar analyst Dan Wasiolek expects bookings growth to accelerate further to 7% in 2026 as demand improves alongside policy visibility. Tariffs had disrupted travel spending, "but it appears prospective U.S. travelers are prepared to book again," said Danni Hewson, head of financial analysis at AJ Bell. Expedia has also been focusing on simplifying its organizational structure by eliminating roles, streamlining operations and deploying generative AI technology. Its second-quarter margin grew by 190 basis points, surpassing the company's May guidance of a 75- to 100-basis-point increase. The biggest fundamental takeaway is that Expedia's continued strategic focus and tighter expense controls are driving more consistent results, said Baird analyst Michael Bellisario. Expedia also joined industry peers Marriott and Airbnb in noting strong bookings from higher-income consumers while lower-income consumers were more cautious with discretionary spending. Expedia's shares trade at about 12.01 times their forward profit estimates, below the industry median of 14.19. Sign in to access your portfolio

Hyatt's Hotel Sale, Expedia's Good Quarter and Europe's Scorching Heat
To end the week we look at Hyatt's renewed focus on asset-light strategies, Expedia's standout earnings, and Europe's long-term heat problems. Skift Daily Briefing Podcast Listen to the day's top travel stories in under four minutes every weekday. Listen to the day's top travel stories in under four minutes every weekday. Skift Travel Podcasts Good morning from Skift. It's Friday, August 8. Here's what you need to know about the business of travel today. Hyatt is getting a boost from luxury travelers, while its executives are going forward with an asset-light strategy, writes Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neill. Hyatt's luxury brands saw a 5% increase in revenue per available room during the second quarter. O'Neill notes Hyatt has benefited from luxury and upper-uspcale hotels representing 70% of its rooms, while its competitors are more reliant on mid-market and economy brands that are dealing with economic uncertainty. Meanwhile, Hyatt has been working to sell assets and wants to primarily rely on franchising or management deals. Fee-based revenue provides steadier cash flows and higher returns on capital than owning hotels. Listen to This Podcast Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Youtube | RSS Next, Expedia Group has increased its guidance for 2025 following a strong quarter for its B2B business and overseas growth, reports Executive Editor Dennis Schaal. Expedia's new guidance for the year is 3-5% growth for gross bookings and revenue, up from 2-4%. The company saw a 7% increase in room nights during the second quarter. The gains come despite softness in the U.S. CEO Ariana Gorin noted a boost from offering Southwest Airlines flights and said both Southwest and Expedia are gaining new customers because of the partnership. Finally, demand for short-term rentals in Southern Europe this summer is showing signs of decline, and the region's extreme heat may be a factor, writes Climate Reporter Darin Graham. Graham cites Spain, Portugal, and Italy as countries that have seen a decline in the share of annual demand concentrated during the peak summer season. That's according to new data from vacation rental analytics firm AirDNA. Graham notes the trend suggests that travelers could be adjusting their habits to avoid the worst of summer heatwaves. Spain, for example, has seen a sharp drop since 2018 in short-term rental demand for August, but slight increases in the period between February and May.
