Pack, you never know. It depends how flying conditions are, and what the whether is like at the destination. Be on the safe side and get ready to go.
2 :
I would think that you should be okay, but it all depends on how much snow you already have on the ground
3 :
its not the amount of snow, but rather turbulence in the air and slickness of the runways. so it really depends. i dont think it will be icy in ohio (im in kentucky). just stay tuned to your local news and the airports internet site to keep informed of cancellations

I don't know how much snow to cancel a flight but pack your bags so if it doesn't snow hard enough
5 :
Chances are your flight won't be cancelled, though it might be delayed. Columbus is a fairly major airport, and they'll likely plow things out fairly quickly. If you're on a non-stop flight to Dallas, you'll probably go out as soon as they've got things clear. If you're transferring somewhere (Chicago, Atlanta, or wherever), it will depend on what the weather's like in the hub city. Unfortunately they won't make the decision to delay or cancel until close to your departure time. You have to assume you're flying and get to the airport assuming you'll be on time.

There is not a specific amount of snow that they will cancel a flight for - there are many factors that are involved in order to cancel a flight, ie. visibility, turbulence, runway conditions, etc.. I would suggest that you pack your bags and get ready to travel

If you are flying out of a small regional airport then you will pay more regardless of what source you use. Best advice I can give you is if you can fly out of Cincinnati, Charleston, Pittsburgh, or Louisville you may find that you save allot more. Otherwise if you are going to fly out of one of those two airports then you will have to accept that the demand for either Huntington or Columbus is low thereby meaning higher airfares.

On the dates you wish to travel there are return direct flights, between Port Columbus Airport (CMH) & Phoenix Sky Harbour Airport (PHX), available with US Airways for £229.50p (approx. $364.334) including taxes. Cheaper indirect flights are available with Southwest or Delta. http://www.skyscanner.net/flights/cmh/phx/110326/110404/airfares-from-port-columbus-to-phoenix-sky-harbor-in-march-2011-and-april-2011.html

Try kayak.com, they show a non-stop r/t flight including all taxes and fees on US Airways for $309 from Columbus. You can follow the link and book directly with US Airways. They also list many other airlines that have the flight for much less than $800. Don't wait to book the flight, that price may not last long. http://www.kayak.com/

I would start with Southwest Airlines and see if they have anything out of Columbus. Look at Cleveland and Akron as well and see if you can find anything cheap. AirTran flies out of Akron. You can also see if Pittsburgh has anything. Southwest and AirTran both fly out of that city.

Need the cheapest place to get a flight from Canada to US

Need the cheapest place to get a flight from Canada to US?
My mother-in-law is flying here from Moncton, New Brunswick in Canada into Dayton, Cincinnati, or Columbus, Ohio. Is it better to get a fight directly from a site like Air Canada or is there a cheaper way?

Air Canada is your best bet. You can try FareCompare.com or Priceline to see what they come up with. The issue to consider with Priceline is getting a red-eye flight which makes the trip harder (loss of sleep, etc).
2 :
Try Orbitz or a link from the page below
3 :
priceline.com is great

check www.travelocity.com Cincinnati is very expensive, I'd go for Dayton or Columbus. Check the rates for the dates you want on travelocity, then go directly to the website of the carrier and check their price for the same flight. Often it's a little cheaper that way.
6 :
The best bet possible will be Air Canada, American Airlines, also flies there, there are many possibilities, You may want to check amazon. travel zoo, on line companies and get quotes, then if like, but fell uncomfortable doing it on line. Call a local travel agency, and compare rates. But would suggest to book with a qualified agency, that displays I A T A , and also Province travel membership. Your travel agent friend.

What is the cheapest way to get from Columbus, Ohio to Italy

What is the cheapest way to get from Columbus, Ohio to Italy?
Hi everyone. I am an Ohio State student interested in visiting Italy this summer (2011). Money is a huge issue, so I am looking for the cheapest way to get there. I have heard that flying into Europe somewhere besides Italy and catching a train is cheaper than a direct flight. Can someone please provide advice/guidance as to how to get there as cheap as possible? It would be greatly appreciated!

The best way is to go onto orbitz.com choose the flexable plans link near the bottom. it will give you a 30 day price range. You can put in how long you want to go as well. You can put in different airports. I heard that going to london and taking the train to italy is a little cheaper. but i hope you have an extra 4 days for that (2 there , 2 back). Need pass port of course. good luck
