Eagles Fans Hunt for Travel Options for Sunday's Game


by KYW's John Ostapkovich

Eagles fans flying high in the wake of their win over the Giants are looking to fly far for the NFC Championship game in Phoenix.

Fly, Eagles, fly is more than just a fight song, unless you're up for a long haul on the highway. Air travel is the way to go to the game in Arizona against the Cardinals.

Lots of people have that idea, according to Cathy Rossi of AAA Mid Atlantic, who says website traffic is up 1000% as people check out their package deals:

"We still have pretty good availability right now because we're actually seeing people do more exploring rather than buying right now. We're seeing people check it out. We're not necessarily seeing them book at this moment."

Rossi says AAA has hundreds of packages starting at $765, two days, one night and a game ticket, but you have to arrange air fare. Rossi says that there are so many travel options, and it's tough to bring that into a package.
