Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark said the WNBA's decision to provide chartered flights for teams will make life 'a lot easier for a lot of people.'
So when she made her first road trip last week, the league's first overall draft pick had to adapt. Instead of loading her bag directly onto a plane and boarding, Clark found herself traversing the same lines and waits as everyone else at a Dallas airport -- just like most of the league's players.
For those reasons, charter flights can't start soon enough for those who have been around the league for years -- or for Clark, who has been driving WNBA ticket sales upward after driving a substantial increase in television ratings over the past two seasons. In addition to the WNBA's improved travel accommodations, Clark and the Fever will enjoy increased screen time for the upcoming season.
