Georgia and Alabama fans have been booking up flights and hotels as the two teams prepare to head to Indianapolis for the College Football Playoff Championship.
To help more fans get to the game, Delta Air Lines has added additional non-stop flights from three cities.
The Indianapolis International Airport says the Atlanta-based airline will have one-time service from Birmingham and Huntsville, Alabama and Savannah, Georgia.
