$135 Round-Trip Tix ATL-DFW!!! Make it a Day Trip, No Hotel!

Just go to American's site and choose 12/29 for both flights. There are round-trip tix available that conceivably would give you time to fly out that morning, make the game and fly back that night.

Leave a little early if you have to (gonna be a blowout anyway), have a ride to the airport pre-arranged, no checked baggage, TSA pre-check, tickets and boarding passes in hand before leaving home.. I think it's possible. Looks like 20 minutes drive time in normal traffic. I wonder how bad traffic will be shortly before people start to leave the game? If money is a concern for anyone considering the trip, I think it's worth a look.
The 8:31 departure time is Central Time local as well.

You would have to rent a helicopter to get back in time to DFW for your return flight!

I agree, 3pm local start time

if it actually kicks off right at 3. Extended halftime. Post game traffic. Better hope there aren't any replay reviews or OT. It's a 20 minute drive to the airport with no traffic from AT&T stadium.

May be worth a chance though, especially if we are up big and leave a few minutes before the end. You would have to hope that the majority of the ND crowd didn't leave at half-time.

Don't waste your time on In N Out Burgers, most overrated restaurant in history. I can point you to 20 better places in DFW for Burgers.

get back and 11:30. Seriously though- it's something to consider for those nearby or place to stay in ATL. I think you can do it.

Leave your car at the ATL airport for the day?

Costs $15-20 daily in the domestic lots, I believe.

So all times local Dallas time. 3:00 kickoff would give 4.5 to 5 hours for game and then shoot to the airport right after game. Is this correct?

Not sure if kickoff will be at 3:00 sharp, but yes that's local time. 3 pm Central game starts, flight scheduled to leave at 8:31 pm Central. Roughly 20% chance the flight is delayed as well.

I'd rather go and maybe have to leave a little early
Dec 7, 2018, 1:32 PM

than stay home because the costs of traveling to attend all these games are just too much. If we're playing backups by the 4th quarter like I expect, it's a no-brainer.

For anybody living within a reasonable driving distance of the ATL airport, check Southwest. They usually have lower rates to Texas and a much larger selection of flight times to and from DFW. Worth a look.
