MIAMI, Sept. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Skyscanner, the global travel search engine, is proud to announce the return of its popular and first-of-its-kind Football Flight Finder Tool. Skyscanner makes it easier than ever to score flights to every not-to-be-missed NFL game, and now the tool will help fans find flights deals for Southeastern Conference (SEC) college football games this season as well.
Football is a sport that beckons fans like no other, especially when it comes to following teams. A new released study by Emory University professor Michael Lewis took on the task of evaluating the best and worst NFL fan bases, and one of his criteria evaluated a team’s “road equity.” Focused on “how teams draw on the road,” the study found that the three reigning NFL teams are the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles and Oakland Raiders. And just as important to highlight are those teams that don’t seem to have the same appeal for attracting a following on the road, and those are the Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks.
When it comes to the college level, fans are known to travel well and far to support their teams. USA Today launched its College Football Fan Index last year, and while the rankings take many factors into account, among the criteria is game attendance both home and away. The SEC teams leading the charge are the Alabama Crimson Tide, LSU Tigers, and Texas A&M.
Now in its second year, the Skyscanner Football Flight Finder is the only online resource that connects football fans with instant travel options to travel for games. Fans proved their team loyalty and willingness to travel the distance last year, with the most popular teams being searched for with the tool being the Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns and Seattle Seahawks.
“Nothing rivals the in-stadium experience as one of your favorite major league or college teams taking the field, and Skyscanner’s Football Flight Finder is all about making those dreams into reality,” said Randi Wolfson, Head of Communications, Skyscanner. “We take all the guesswork out of the process for travelers, and pair our unparalleled platform with the teams’ schedules so fans can see all the flight possibilities and identify the best deals available.”
The Skyscanner Football Flight Finder tool is available at footballflights.com for NFL games and http://www.skyscanner.com/football/sec/ for SEC games. Football fans simply choose a home airport and favorite team. The tool then filters the best flight options matching the team’s full season game schedule. Alternatively, if the fan has a preferred game, the tool can sort games by stadium, matching flight deals accordingly. The Skyscanner Football Flight Finder suggests a few flight options, varying by length of trips from one-day to up-to a four-day trip.
Skyscanner’s very popular Price Alert feature is integrated into the tool, offering a quick-click option for fans to set-up an alert that provides notification on changes in ticket price. Fans can also easily share flight itineraries found through the Skyscanner tool directly with fellow fans via Facebook, Twitter and a link for email sharing.
