ATLANTA -- Ahead of the SEC Championship game between the Georgia Bulldogs and Texas Longhorns, Southwest Airlines surprised some customers with a special "Tailgate in the Sky."

Lucky football fans flying into Atlanta from Dallas, Texas, were treated to special gear, games, an SEC-inspired cocktail, gate games, and inflight entertainment. One football fan onboard the flight was even surprised with a pair of tickets to the big game!
