Southwest Airlines has added dozens of new flight options for football fans in anticipation of this month’s College Football Playoff and bowl season.
Many of the flights are scheduled on routes not currently served by Southwest, with the help of the airline’s point-to-point network. In total, 41 new flights are now available to take fans to up to eight different games.
The low-cost carrier, which is the official airline of the Southeastern Conference, has added flights between Birmingham, Alabama, and Oklahoma City for the first-round playoff matchup between Alabama and Oklahoma on December 19.
Southwest has also added flights for bowl games in Orlando, Tampa and Las Vegas, as well as all four College Football Playoff quarterfinal games in Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami and New Orleans.
For the Orange Bowl quarterfinal showdown in Miami on January 1, nine flights from Texas airports were added to Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
