Luka Doncic Will Reportedly Pay Around $500K To Fly Lakers Teammates To And From Slovenia

Luka Doncic covered nearly $500,000 to fly the Los Angeles Lakers roster to his home country of Slovenia, according to a report from Zurnal24.si. Doncic chartered a private jet for the team’s travel to and from Ljubljana, using a Bombardier Global 8000 that can seat 20 passengers. The report says the jet’s rental costs start around $18,000 per hour with a 25-hour-per-year requirement, and that the one-way flight from Los Angeles worked out to roughly a quarter-million dollars. The Lakers are scheduled to stay in Slovenia from August 20 to August 24, focused mainly on bonding activities like golfing and a Lake Bled visit.
