What this trip is

You're going for the weekend, not the seats.

This is a homecoming-style weekend, not a stadium trip. The tailgate is the main event — it starts at 5pm and keeps going long after kickoff, because most of our group never goes inside. That's the point.

Game tickets are not included, and no trip like this includes them. If you want to be in the building, buy your ticket separately and bring it with you. Everyone else stays in the lot with us.

Bus and Plane is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any team or league.

The Day-by-Day

Four days. One very good weekend.

Out Saturday morning, back Tuesday night. Everything in between is handled.

Day 01Sat · Oct 3

Atlanta to New Orleans

Board at College Park Station and roll out at 7:00am — it sits on the MARTA airport line with parking on site, so you can ride in, drive in or fly in the night before. The exact boarding point is confirmed with every traveler before departure. Straight down through Alabama and Mississippi with stops along the way, into New Orleans and checked in at the Sheraton on Canal Street.

Day 02Sun · Oct 4

Your Free Day

Nothing scheduled, on purpose. The French Quarter is a walk from the hotel — beignets, Frenchmen Street, the Garden District, or nothing at all.

Day 03Mon · Oct 5

The Bus and Plane Tailgate

Free morning and afternoon, then our tailgate from 5:00pm — food, music, and the lot at its loudest. Kickoff is 7:15pm and the party keeps running straight through it. Head into the stadium if you have a ticket; most people don't, and stay right where they are.

Day 04Tue · Oct 6

Home

Breakfast and a 10:00am departure from New Orleans, back into Atlanta around 8:00pm.

Itinerary subject to refinement — final version to all deposited travelers.
