Travel tips from Joe Staley

My favorite 49er gives his usual thoughtful answers about travelling -- both with the team and just for fun.
I never realized what it was like to travel as a football team:
We do our security check-in here at our facility. Then we board buses and have a police escort to the airport. We're dropped off right on the tarmac, where we charter a 747 flight. The veterans and starters sit in first class, everyone else filters in and grabs whatever seat they want. When we land, another bus and police escort is waiting on the tarmac to take us to whatever hotel we're staying in.
This sounds pretty sweet, actually.
