Foxborough, Mass. (Aug. 3, 2009) -- The New England Patriots and the travel division of AAA Southern New England are teaming up to offer Patriots fans the opportunity to attend any away game in 2009 through a new Patriots Fan Travel program.

Patriots Fan Travel operated by AAA Travel is offering packages to all eight regular season away games. The trips include game transfers, hotel accommodations, game tickets, pre-game hospitality, a Patriots memento and the complimentary services of a professional AAA Travel Tour Manager to coordinate the trip. The exclusive packages also include tickets to a New England Patriots home game in December.

"We are pleased to be operating the official Patriots Fan Travel program for fans to not only see their team play away games, but to also enjoy the destination, especially London in October," said Bill Sutherland, Vice President Travel, AAA Southern New England.
