The flight will leave Monday morning (the day of the game) and leave Miami about 2 hours after the game to return to Memphis. They are still working on all of the flight details and will announce everything tomorrow. They are still finalizing the price per person, but it will probably be around $550 - $650 per person. Not the best price, BUT if you only have that one day off or worried about the cost of hotels, rental cars/cabs, food, etc....this might be an option for you. Just passing the information along. I will post the link or details once I get them.

Any update on this? It's looking like the one-day charter option is my only way of going to the game.

Southern Airways Express was trying to put something together, but they were unable to find a big enough plane for what they were looking for to go to Miami. She just sent me an email and said it was going to be close to $700 a person for the one day trip. They did everything they could, but they could not find a big big enough in time to make it work. All of the planes they normally use are a lot smaller and normally fly regionally. Several of us are sad they could not make it work. That was our only way to go to the game.

you can still do it, but would have to get to/from the stadium on your own.

Just priced it on priceline.com
One way: Delta MEM to FLL 6a-12p flight, $294 on 12/22
One way: United FLL to MEM 7:05p-10:59p, $195 on 12/22

hmm... may have to have a serious discussion with the wife tonight...

7pm flight from Fort Lauderdale will cut it very close. The game won't even end before 5:30pm (at the earliest). You would have to leave the game around 5pm to make sure you made your flight from FLL.

definitely cutting it close. looked for some later flights, but didn't see any. but I was thinking of the game time here at home. forgot it starts at 2 in Miami. yeah, that's not worth it. Got to see the end and celebrate with the fans if gonna be there at all.

Student tickets are only $30 (1/2 price). I reserved one-stop flights to and from Ft Lauderdale plus two nights in a decent hotel for less than $500 per person.

Cheaper than driving to B'ham and a great destination! Go Tigers GO!
