Kentucky came to Athens on Oct. 7, 2023 at 5-1, a week after knocking off Florida. Georgia scored on all six of its first-half possessions, led 34-7 at the break and won 51-13 in front of 92,746 at Sanford Stadium.

Getting home took a while. The Wildcats' charter, a Delta Boeing 717, left Athens-Ben Epps at 12:41 a.m. ET Sunday and landed at Lexington's Blue Grass Airport 45 minutes later. Charter filings collected by the U.S. Department of Transportation list a matching Delta departure from Athens to Lexington that month.

Those filings identify the carrier, the aircraft type and the route. They do not break out players, coaches or staff, so the size of Kentucky's travel party is not part of the public record.
