Looks like all flights are not allowed to take off until further notice. The Longhorns have not left Austin yet and are sitting on the airplane waiting for this to be resolved. Hope this is resolved quickly!

Longhorns are on this flight if you wanna follow along.

Allegedly they use Outlook.

"Flights already in the air will be allowed to land."

That's nice of them. I feel like they'd be landing one way or another eventually anyway.

I don't know, man. I feel like you escalated things from a nationwide delay of flights. I'm not saying flight delays are ideal. It's going to be a nightmare coming out of this. But that's a different level of bad weekend from going from being esconced on your cruise ship to taking a quick unplanned dip in the Mississippi River, with and without life jackets on.

And the Texas players are on a chartered flight, to Baton Rouge, which will last about an hour once they're able to take off. Again, not ideal, but not the same thing.

Fire up the Vonlane buses? This isn't good timing at all.

FAA: All departing flights are cancelled nationwide until further notice for the first time since 9/11.

Texas fans: What about our chartered flight to Baton Rouge out of Austin? What are we going to dooooooooooooo?!?

CBS is interviewing a Texas fan who was supposed to fly in to Lafayette for the game lol

100%. Even if it’s lifted at 10pm there’s going to be severe delays at the airports for taxiing

The drive from Austin, Texas, to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is approximately 430 miles and typically takes 6.5 to 8 hours of driving time, depending on traffic and stops

Currently on a plane about 45 min outside of NOLA, little nerve racking to be honest. Cousin was set to leave Austin around 5:00 but that’s not going to happen.

That would still get them there faster.
