How does the band travel?

in Given To Fly (live)
Always been curious about this. For example, between tonight's Cincy show and St. Louis on Friday, do they take a tour bus? Do they all fly? Same for leaving St. Louis and then playing Austin. Is it different depending on the distance? Was always curious about the logistics involved in getting the band members from point A to point B. I know the equipment all goes via truck.

    Everyone's a comedian! Let me guess, when they go to Europe, they travel via Oceans?

    The first show I saw, Bristow 2010, Eddie was talking about what a good time they were all having on that leg of the tour, about how they were all getting along, and about what good "players" they all were. He then said something about how if they didn't have the shows to do and they were just flying around the country, from city to city it would be strange. But since we were all there, it gave them "a purpose" and for that, he thanked us.

    I'm gonna say they charter planes, and probably don't do this....

    They're all rock starts so they all have private jets.

    Edit-Yes, even boom.

    I saw one large tour bus... of course, they had at least 2-3 equipment semi trucks and two semi trucks for merch.

    I loved that the cabs of the trucks were RED... I'm sure it's coincidental, but it made me think of that RED vinyl!

    I'm not sure but I think they take the Long Road at the Speed of Sound and look at the merch and equipment trucks in the Rearviewmirror.

    On this leg of the tour they are flying between cities on one of these(not the exact one in the picture). I work in corporate aviation so being able to find this kind of info isn't too hard(at times).

    Maybe they decide how to travel by spinning the black circle.
