WHY IT RATES: Travel agents and advisors with clients who love college football will be able to sell them on a trip to see the games thanks to Delta adding more seats to key destinations.—Donald Wood, Breaking News Senior Writer.
College football playoff aficionados, fans, supporters and the like can choose from one-day-only nonstop Delta flights in late December to destinations hosting the games that will crown the eventual college football champion of the 2018 season.
