How Do Pro Sports Teams Travel?

How do pro teams, and all the coaches, trainers, equipment et alia get from city to city? I could see short range bus trips, but say the Red Sox are going to Seattle then Oakland then LA.....commercial jet? charter jet that specializes in flying sports teams? and if by air, is there a special configuration...i.e. 60 business class seats? If not who gets to sit up front and who in the back 6 accross?

1. on commercial flights that are rented to solely that team for that flight, i would think that coaches, etc. would get business class, while the players got coach...ironic huh?
2. By air...they charter flights.
3. Most teams charter flights. Some teams with generous owners have private planes. The Pistons had Roundball One. One of the terrorism stories mentioned how the CIA used a private plane used for the Red Sox to take a suspected terrorist overseas.
