cheap flight from columbus,ohio to volgograd,russia?
hi i know it's a very short notice,especially for an international flight,but i'm looking for the cheapest ticket available to go from CMH to VOG on Jan29th-Feb 1st,returning Feb 16th-18th. The cheapest airfare i found so far was $1000,which is pretty good given the fact that i have less than 2 weeks left.regular price is $1200 and more. Can you help me find something cheaper? Btw,all travel agents i've contacted so tsk-tsked and said it would've been much cheaper at least 21 days in advance.alas!..21 days ago i wasn't sure about the dates... thanks in advance

Is there a Direct Flight between Pittsburgh, PA and Columbus, Ohio

Is there a Direct Flight between Pittsburgh, PA and Columbus, Ohio?
I used to fly direct between Pittsburgh and Columbus. I am shocked that I can't find a direct flight. Are there any small commuter airlines etc... Amtrak doesn't even go between Pittsburgh and Columbus. Thank you so much and happy travels!

According to Wikipedia, there are flights from Pittsburgh to Columbus on US Airways Express operated by Piedmont Airlines, but this route ends January 5. If you do book this flight with US Airways, keep in mind they charge you $5 to book it through their website, so use Orbitz or another site to avoid the $5 fee You can connect through Philadelphia to get to Columbus.

US Airways Express has one direct flight that still operates after January 5, but it operates only on Sundays and it stops in Charlotte. That's a long way out of your way. Your best bet is Continental Express with a plane change in Cleveland. I think that the previous answer was accidentally reversed. US Airways does not charge $5 to book on their site. It's the third party sites such as Expedia and Orbitz that have the $5 booking fee.

There are no nonstop flights to columbus from PIT, the wikipedia edit is wrong and US airways Express stopped flying to Columbus on September 30, 2007. US Airways cut the flight because they are continually downgrading Pittsburgh every day. sorry I live in Pittsburgh and I lost my US Airways nonstops to Albuquerque, London, and Buffalo which I flew on a lot. Here in Pittsburgh it bothers us but we know we have to move on.

Maybe. Check orbitz.com

I suppose it's theoretically possible, if you have access to a concorde jet and leave at midnight of the day you want to get there.....
7 :
Of course it's possible. Many commercial flights will take you there & back. However if you have a Lear or something else, that would be much faster & more comfortable.

Which Columbus?

if you got the money , its possible !

I'm flying from Sacramento to Chicago (Midway), then getting on another flight to Columbus at Midway

I'm flying from Sacramento to Chicago (Midway), then getting on another flight to Columbus at Midway...?
Since I am changing flights and getting on another plane, am I responsible for picking up my luggage and checking it in at Midway? Or do they do that automatically for my flight to Columbus? I have flown many, many times, but never as an adult. I have also never changed planes during my trip, so this is kind of a new experience for me. If it helps, I'm flying Southwest with my husband and 3-year-old daughter. Any information, even if it does not pertain to my question directly would be greatly appreciated because I need as much help as I can get. Thanks!

When you check in at Sacramento, Southwest will check your luggage all the way through to Columbus. The only thing you'll have to do at Midway is change planes -- airport personnel there will transfer the bags for you.
2 :
As long as both of your flights are on the same reservation, then you should have no problems. Your bags will be checked all the way through and you will pick them up in baggage claim in Columbus. Southwest does not assign any seats, so you will be assigned a boarding group at the time you check in. You can check in online 24 hours before your first flight departs and receive boarding passes for both flights, which I highly recommend. You are given a boarding group of A B or C, along with a position number. When you are getting ready to board at the airport, you'll see how the groups and numbers come into play. Preboarding passengers go first, which are passengers in wheelchairs, people with disabilites, and unaccompanied minors (aged 5-11 kids by themselves). Families do not preboard, but there is family boarding offered after the A group has boarded. I recommend checking in as close to 24 hours before departure as possible, since the groups are mostly first-come, first-served. If you are in the A group, you can board then and not have to wait for family boarding. Once you're on the plane, it's open seating. The only restriction with traveling with small children is that you cannot sit in the emergency exit rows. Your daughter is not required to use a carseat onboard, but you can bring on if you'd feel more comfortable with her in it. Just make sure it states that it is approved for aircraft use, because not all seats are. Booster seats provide no restraint and are not allowed. If you want to bring a seat and NOT use it, it's probably easiest to check it out front at the ticket counter or curbside when you check your bags.
