Delta Air Lines will make it easier for Green Bay Packers fans to fly nonstop from Green Bay to two away games this year, including the team’s matchup against former quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Delta added four nonstop, round-trip flights into and out of Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport to its route schedule timed to four of the Packers’ early-season home and away games, the airport announced on June 17. Delta also will use a larger jet for one of its normally-scheduled flights between Green Bay and Detroit to offer more seats for the season opener between the Packers and Lions.

Fans of the Washington Commanders and Cincinnati Bengals will find it easier to fly into Green Bay for their teams’ games at Lambeau Field in September and October, respectively, thanks to flights departing from Washington, D.C. and Cincinnati.
Packers fans meanwhile will be able to fly nonstop to Phoenix for the Packers’ Oct. 19 game versus the Arizona Cardinals and to Pittsburgh for the Packers’ Oct. 26 matchup with the Steelers and their new quarterback.
Delta is the second of the three major commercial carriers to add Packers game-related flights to its fall schedule. American Airlines in late May added four nonstop, round-trip flights to its schedule for key Packers home games against the Washington Commanders, Philadelphia Eagles and Carolina Panthers.
Here’s what to know about each of the four nonstop flights and Delta’s plans for the Lions-Packers season opener.
