College Football Game Flights

If you’re hoping to go to a game (or at least tailgate a game) for your favourite college football team, it’s important to make sure that you’re fully prepared. You have the tickets, have booked a hotel room or Airbnb, but how to get there?


Here’s where Alternative Airlines comes in. We can help you find the best way to get to the game.
