Regional travel agencies booked seven chartered flights for eager Penn State fans heading to the Rose Bowl from HIA. On December 29 and 30, shuttles, tour buses and vehicles funneled into the airport dropping off approximately 1150 excited Penn State alumni and fans. Six of the seven chartered flights departed between 6:30 am and 9:00 am on Monday, the 29th. Lions supporters began lining up at the ticket counters for check-in beginning at 4:30 am, the occasional "We are Penn State" chant could be heard from the bleary-eyed passengers.In spite of 
all of the additional passenger traffic from the chartered flights the security checkpoint lines and ticket counter check-in moved efficiently. We would like to extend our sincerest thanks to those charter and regularly scheduled commercial service passengers who waited 
with a pleasant attitude and a smile in the early morning hours!

Sun Country Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and North American Airlines.
