Bengals' primetime road matchup has Cincinnati's airport adding new flight for traveling fans

It's not every year the Cincinnati Bengals play a game in one of the biggest stadiums in the NFL. That's what will happen late in the year when they travel to AT&T Stadium to face the Dallas Cowboys on Monday, December 8.

The biggest problem isn't fitting everyone in the stadium, it's getting to the stadium from Cincinnati in the first place.

Luckily, Cincinnati's airport is taking initiative to solve that problem.

Delta Airlines has recently added a special nonstop flight to the Dallas-Forth Worth Airport from CVG Airport, located just under 15 few miles from the downtown Cincinnati area. Tickets for the flights went on sale this past Saturday , July 6.

Flight details

• CVG to DFW — Saturday, Dec. 7 — Departure: 1 p.m. — Arrival: 2:29 p.m.
• DFW to CVG — Tuesday, Dec. 10 — Departure: 12:45 p.m. — Arrival: 3:58 p.m.

This will be the second of two Monday Night Football games Cincinnati will play in this season, with the first being at home against the Washington Commanders in Week 3. The Bengals have a total of five primetime games, with three of them being on the road.

Directly following the Cowboys game will be another road matchup against the Tennessee Titans , and a home game against the Cleveland Browns is on deck the Thursday night following that game. It's arguably the toughest stretch of games Cincinnati will have to get through this season.

A game against a contender like the Cowboys is enticing enough, but to go south during December is another reason why Bengals fans in Cincinnati may want to go to that game. Hence the increased demand for flights.

With nine games on the road to just eight at home, the Bengals will need all the help they can get to win away from Paycor Stadium. Hopefully plenty of fans will now be able to make the trek to Texas.
