Because there are never any direct commercial flights between Kansas City or St. Louis and Miami?

Missouri governor taps campaign donor for flight to Super Bowl

JEFFERSON CITY — While thousands of other fans from Missouri paid their own way to get to Sunday’s Super Bowl in Miami, Gov. Mike Parson relied on a campaign benefactor to make the 1,300-mile trek.

Parson, a Republican, rode on Independence businessman Tom Duvall’s airplane to see his beloved Kansas City Chiefs win the big game over the San Francisco 49ers.

The plane ride will be recorded as a contribution when the governor’s political action committee, Uniting Missouri, files its next campaign finance report with the Missouri Ethics Commission in April.

Uniting Missouri treasurer John Hancock said the use of the plane is legal because Parson raised money while in Florida for the game….

You think they got window seats? Just asking.

Not Tweeting from the nosebleed section, eh?

Before the game:

Governor and First Lady Parson to Attend Super Bowl LIV in Miami Gardens, Florida
January 30, 2020

Jefferson City On Sunday, February 2, 2020, Governor Mike Parson and First Lady Teresa Parson will travel to Miami Gardens, Florida, to watch the Kansas City Chiefs compete against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV.
Sunday’s game will mark the Chiefs’ first Super Bowl appearance in 50 years. The Chiefs last appeared in the Super Bowl in 1970, defeating the Minnesota Vikings 23-7. This remains the team’s only Super Bowl title in franchise history.
“Teresa and I are thrilled to attend the Super Bowl not just as Governor and First Lady of Missouri, but as avid Kansas City Chiefs fans. We have been long-time season ticket holders and can’t wait to see our team compete for the Super Bowl championship,” Governor Parson said. “Over the past 50 years, the Chiefs have inspired millions throughout Kansas City and the state of Missouri. They have made us proud, and it’s their time to bring home the title. I’m predicting a 31-21 win. Let’s go Chiefs!”
Governor Parson and First Lady Parson will have the chance to meet California Governor Gavin Newsom, who will also be attending the Super Bowl. To represent the Show-Me State, a basket of Buy Missouri items will be presented to Governor Newsom, as well as Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as a courtesy for hosting the Super Bowl.
Governor Parson and First Lady Parson purchased their own Super Bowl tickets. Aside from required standard security, there will be no cost to state taxpayers.

“…Governor Parson and First Lady Parson purchased their own Super Bowl tickets…”

So, what did those nice seats run you?
