Now the flights are showing up on FlightAware and Delta's website. Looks like two charters 8877 and 8876. One is a 757 one is an A333.

Congratulations Atlanta Braves! You deserved the fourth WS championships. 26 years since the last World Series Championships in 1995. 2 1/2 decades now.

Also the last time the Cincinnati Reds won a postseason series. They beat Dodgers in the first round (NLDS) before getting swept by the Braves in the NLCS.

Delta 8877 is the Braves regular charter. That's been the Braves flight number for ~3 years. A look at its flight history on flight aware will show a mirror of the Braves schedule./

DL8876 is an extra one for Braves staff and families that is World Series-only.

I can't recalled. I can't remember when they won a postseason last time. What years is it?

The Reds' last postseason series win was in 1995, against the Dodgers in the first round. They then lost to the Braves in the second round. The Reds have since made a couple a playoff appearances but have failed to advance past the first round in any of those appearances. In 2012, they even had a 2 game to 0 lead over the San Francisco Giants in the Division Series, winning the first two games in San Francisco, then came to Cincinnati with home field advantage for the remaining 3 games and got swept at home and lost the series 3-2. I was at Game 4 of that series that year.

I believe they have a TSA screening/set-up at the stadium when they board the bus and the bus takes them directly to the airport/aircraft.
