Delta Airlines to add extra flights for 2025 college football season for anticipated matchups

Delta Airlines is set to add extra flights for college football season once again as fans gear up for the 2025 campaign. This will create additional nonstop service flights to college towns.

“College football is one of the great American traditions, and Delta is excited to help bring even more fans to the games that matter to them the most,” Amy Martin – Vice President North America Network Planning said. “With these increases Delta is adding about 8,000 additional seats for customers, making it easier and more convenient for fans to be there for every kickoff, touchdown and victory.” 

The extra flights will help support some of those most anticipated matchups this year. That includes LSU at Clemson, Texas at Ohio State and several Notre Dame games, per the release.

Here are the key highlights from Delta concerning these flights. Overall, it seems like a good deal.

• Delta’s college football capacity adds are tailored to game-day weekends for easy out-and-back trips. Most of these flights will operate on Fridays and will return on Sundays. 

• 25 cities will be receiving additional service throughout the season including South Bend (SBN), Columbus (CMH), Austin (AUS), Knoxville (TYS), Gainesville (GNV) and many more.  

• Additional service will operate on a mix of both mainline Delta flights and Delta Connection flights. 

“These added flights are in addition to Delta’s regularly scheduled operation that is well equipped to get customers to key rivalries, conference match ups and other big games with either a direct flight or with less than one layover,” the release read. If there’s one thing that can hinder travel plans, it’s a layover.
