Tailgate Party by Jet: Private Travel for College Football

Back to Blogs

College football isn't just a sport—it’s a full-blown experience. From the roar of the crowd to the pre-game excitement of a perfectly executed tailgate party, fans count down all year for those crisp fall Saturdays. But this season, it’s time to take your game day ritual to the next level—with private jet travel from Odyssey Airways.

Skip the early wake-up call, forget about TSA lines, and leave the bumper-to-bumper traffic behind. When you fly private, you’re not just getting to the game—you’re arriving in style, comfort, and efficiency. Whether you're traveling to Athens, Tuscaloosa, Tallahassee, or one of the biggest college football stadiums across the country, Odyssey Airways makes sure your weekend starts the moment you step onboard.

Why Private Jet Travel Changes the Game

Game day weekends are fast-paced and filled with logistics. Between hotel bookings, stadium parking, and the dreaded highway congestion, much of your time is spent just trying to get there. Private jet travel eliminates those pain points.

With Odyssey Airways, your journey is designed around your schedule—not the other way around. Want to land closer to the stadium? Done. Want to bring all your tailgate gear, coolers, and even a grill? We’ve got room. Want to be back home before the sun sets on Sunday? No problem.

When you fly private, you maximize your time on what really matters—watching college football, celebrating with friends, and soaking up every second of the season.

Top Tailgating Destinations You Can Fly to Private

From classic rivalries to championship-caliber matchups, some cities know how to throw a legendary tailgate party. Here are just a few of the top college towns that deserve a spot on your fall travel list—and how Odyssey Airways can get you there.

Tuscaloosa, Alabama – University of Alabama

One of the biggest names in college football, Alabama game days are larger-than-life. Bryant–Denny Stadium is among the biggest college football stadiums, and the tailgating culture rivals any in the country. Private flights into Tuscaloosa Regional Airport put you just minutes away from the action.

Gainesville, Florida – University of Florida

Tailgate games like cornhole and giant Jenga are everywhere on the UF campus. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, aka "The Swamp," is electric when SEC rivals come to town. Odyssey can land you at Gainesville Regional Airport in record time—no I-75 gridlock necessary.

Athens, Georgia – University of Georgia

There’s no denying the Bulldogs know how to party. Fly into Athens-Ben Epps Airport and stroll straight into one of the most spirited tailgates in the South. Arrive early, enjoy a cold drink, and get in on all the best tailgate games.

Tallahassee, Florida – Florida State University

Nothing beats a garnet-and-gold game day at Doak Campbell Stadium. With a private flight into Tallahassee International Airport, you can get there in time for the full pre-game experience—including the iconic Marching Chiefs and Chief Osceola’s flaming spear.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana – LSU

Saturday nights in Death Valley are legendary. From Cajun cooking to rowdy fans, LSU knows how to host an unforgettable tailgate party. With Odyssey, you’ll skip the long-haul drive and arrive ready to start the weekend early.
