United Expands Nonstop Flights in Support of College Football

United Airlines has added 127 new, nonstop flights to help college football fans root for their team in stadiums across the country. In 2022, more than 50,000 fans flew United to some of the college towns across the country. This year, with the addition of the new flights, the airline is hoping to help more fans travel to support their teams at away games, too.

Additionally, United has partnered with USC Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams to get fans excited for this upcoming season.The 2023 Heisman Award Winner will appear in various United advertisements, as well as social media posts on the brand’s page.

“There’s nothing like the energy you get from seeing the fans in stands and hearing them cheer you on during a big rivalry game, whether that’s at home or on the road,” said Caleb Williams, USC Trojans quarterback.
