Unique Non-Stop Flights Open for Booking (EUG-PHX) from BCS Bowl. Others?
I see Delta has created special flights open for booking to carry the extra demand of passengers from the Portland area (both PDX and EUG) to Phoenix. This is for UO Duck fans to watch them at the BCS Championship in Glendale, AZ.
These flights I have seen been added:
EUG-PHX on 01/07
PHX-EUG on 01/10
same with
PDX-PHX on 01/07
I was surprised to see Delta making special accommodations on the PDX-PHX route as that is already overserved by US Airways, Alaska and Southwest.
Anyone else seeing special flights being created? I think its a smart move by Delta.

One doesn't routinely see 777s scheduled out of Madison.

DL also added a CRJ700 round trip from ROA-MIA for hauling Hokie fans to the Orange Bowl. Maybe not a 777, but it's still notable as the only first class service Roanoke has seen in years!
