What are the actual flight details for GT today?

[bikeseat]

back in 2016, we ran the exact same schedule. Practiced Wednesday mid day. Flew Wednesday overnight, practiced at Aviva after landing. Had Thursday afternoon and Friday off with meetings at night.

Everyone felt fine by Saturday. 5hr time change is not bad.

Just did a fly by.

Tire these guys out in Thursday's practice and keep them up until bed time, get a good night sleep, easy day friday and they should be fine for Saturday. 5 hours time diffence is no big deal for young athletes.

8+ hours for middle aged men that drink too much on the way over is a huge deal. I know this well

I do 5 hours coast to coast all the time. Red-eye after a full day of work and an evening of drinking. These guys have full recline seats. I’m 6’0” 295# and I have no problems. They’ll be fine by Saturday.

Currently sitting in the nicest part of Jersey (Polaris lounge at EWR) waiting for my connection to Shannon and I’ll say I’m definitely looking forward to the trip! Anyone doing cliffs of Moher tomorrow? Doing the cruise and excited for the trip!

I fly to London at least once annually
It is overnight and lands about 7 am. With the 5 hour loss in time, small seats with little leg room, two lousy meals, it is very difficult to get even 2 hours sleep. IMO Key is not allowing these kids enough rest before the game. He seems to believe that is typical behavior of these players, but this is a big risk. I hope I am wrong. It takes me a couple of days to adjust. Even my son who lives there says it takes him a couple of days.

From a players Instagram. Not the same case for our guys.

When the were flying the guys over to play BC , some one in gtaa booked a cheap cattle car. The info went public and it was changed.

This is the way.

If it is a charter, they may have larger seats (like all business class). That helps some but obviously still an affect on the body.

If you look at what most legacy airlines do for NCAA P4 Football programs, NFL, NBA, MLB, et al, they all have a fleet of supersized interior A/C most folks will never see. Inside the US, they are typically 757s or equivalents... Delta, e.g., typically assigns 88xx flight numbers, United 25xx, and so on. I would expect Aer Lingus to do no less

For some fun, go to flightaware.com & see if you can find the ATL-DUB flight.... shouldn't be too many Aer Lingus flights from ATL today, or from Tallahassee for that matter. As charters, flight numbers shoukdn't change going or coming.

Maybe EIN4078 for GT & EIN412G for SemiHoles..., A333s for both.

Air Lingus is the title sponsor.... the plane provided is appropriate for football players needs.
