United Airlines announced the addition of 127 new, nonstop
flights ahead of the 2023 college football season to help fans cheer on their
favorite teams at 30 of the biggest games.
Last college football season, more than 50,000 fans flew
with the carrier to some of the biggest matchups, and United has plans to connect
travelers to some of the most popular teams, including Wisconsin, USC,
University of Michigan, Penn State and more.
“We're committed to providing a best-in-class travel
experience for our customers, whether they're traveling around the globe, or
flying to see their favorite college football team play,” United Senior Vice
President Patrick Quayle said. “We're pleased to deliver a schedule this season
that makes it easy for fans to come together and support their teams on the
road.”
To help celebrate the college football-inspired service,
United is partnering with USC Trojans quarterback and 2023 Heisman Award Winner
Caleb Williams for a NIL advertising and social media agreement.
Williams will appear in various advertising and social media
campaigns for the airline during the college football season, as well as
sponsored posts to his accounts.
Tickets are on sale now for the added flights, with the
airline also operating larger planes to select cities to optimize demand. Travelers
will have increased access to the following games:
