Airlines are upping their game to get more Super Bowl fans to the big game.
Extra flights have been announced to Minneapolis from across the country.

In addition to our regular daily nonstop service, we’re making it easier for all of our customers to get to the game while also bolstering service from our hubs," said Grant Whitney, United’s vice president of domestic network planning.
