NFL Media's Jeff Darlington reported that Peyton Manning chose to sit in the back of the cabin at seat 44I. Broncos coach Gary Kubiak, as most coaches do, parked himself at the front of the plane at seat 1K.
The Panthers landed in San Jose around 4 p.m. PT.

So far the Panthers win the style award. Jonathan Stewart and Cam Newton posted a picture shortly before the team left Carolina.
Newton's Versace Yellow Barocco Zebraprint pants instantly became a hit on social media and are reportedly already sold out. Sorry everybody.
Ron Rivera and company landed in the Bay Area roughly an hour after their Super Bowl counterparts.
Make sure to watch Super Bowl Opening Night live Monday on NFL Network at 8 p.m. ET.
