Some Syracuse fans are checking out their options and considering a trip to Omaha to watch the Orange play in the Sweet 16.

AAA officials said from now through Friday, flights from Syracuse to Omaha are going for right around $1,000.

Most of those flights from Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo include at least one layover.

Officials said some fans have looked into driving directions to Nebraska using Trip Tik, which is AAA's travel planner.

Despite the long drive, it could save a significant amount of money.

"It's about a 16-hour drive so there are some people from the area that are making the trip via car,” said AAA CNY District Sales Manager Kevin Cosselman. “We always advise a lot of rest the night before, and take numerous stops, especially during a trip of that distance."

Despite the distance of the trip, you can make it to Omaha from Syracuse using just two highways Route 90 and then Route 80.
