I need help with a flight to Vegas from Ohio for a weekend coming soon. Please see details below. Thanks!!!!!
I want to fly to Las Vegas leaving on a Friday and coming back on a Monday. I would like to fly out of either Columbus, Ohio, Cincinnati, Ohio or Huntington, WV airports. I need a roundtrip flight only for 2 adults. I would like to go anytime from now till the end of May. It doesn't matter if it is non-stop or not. I have never been to Vegas. Does anyone have any suggestions on the cheapest time (month) to go and any suggestions on a cheap flight?

Check Yahoo Travel. Also, it is easier to book your flight through Akron-Canton Regional Airport- they have nonstop flights and they are slightly cheaper!! My hubby and I are booking a trip in March for the 2 nd time. It is a lot cheaper to stay through the week than on the weekend. Also, if there is a major convention in town, rooms are more expensive. Make sure you check out the fountains at Bellagio, the show at Treasure Island and the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. Back to the flights, we prefer non stop flights b/c with the weather, you never know how long your lay over may take!! Hope this helps!!

I would use Southwest Airlines out of Columbus. They often offer round trip tickets from Columbus to Las Vegas for as little as $69 each way.. I believe that is your best bet.. So before taxes you and a friend can fly for a total of $276 plus taxes.. $139 ea.

I could give you some quotes and book it for you if you like. If not, I can email my website to you and you could check on your own. The site checks up to 200 other sites and comes back with the best rates. Email me if you need more help.

My husband and I go to Las Vegas at least once per year. We're also from Ohio - we usually fly out of Cleveland, but this summer, we're going to try Akron-Canton. The best bang for our buck has been through www.funjet.com. They offer great rates, the option to buy transfers to and from the hotel from the airport, and the option to buy show and event tickets. I highly recommend the site. You'll have a wide variety of flights and hotels to choose from (check out TripAdvisor.com for recommendations). We've stayed at NYNY a few times - LOVED IT; Luxor - okay, but too far south on the strip; and next time we go we're trying MGM Grand. All of the hotels offer a variety of dining, nightclubs, and entertainment. The choice really depends on your preferences. We usually go in December and June. June is warmer, but (I know you'll understand since you're from Ohio) December really isn't too bad either. A lot of people gave us funny looks for wearing shorts last December, but we were comfortable. The only downfall to going in December is that a lot of the shows break for the holidays. Have a great trip!

Before you plan, check the convention schedule. if its a major week or weekend where we have conventions of over 60,000 people, you will see room rates sky rocket.

Taking a bus or a train would be MUCH cheaper! Trains are more comfortable because you can get up, move around and walk to the dining car. It's probably even cheaper to rent a car! .

Tickets are running 123.00 round trip to columbus by flying delta. I just ordered some. Check it out. Try finding a hotel in Delaware Ohio. It is close, but less expensive

The lowest price for a ticket from Port Columbus, Ohio (CMH) to Port Bouet Airport, Abidjan (ABJ) is around 1665 USD return, whilst the average price is in the region of 1880 USD. A single price is more expensive than a return with an average of around 2169 USD. Many of the flights have a stop at Brussels, Belgium, after having first had a stop/change of aircraft at one of a variety of airports including Washington Dulles (IAD), Chicago O'Hare (ORD), Toronto-Pearson (YYZ), Newark (EWR), New York La Guardia (LGA). There are other flights where the stops are at John F. Kennedy New York (JFK) & Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Atlanta-Hartsfield (ATL) & Accra, Nigeria (ACC). The quickest flight appears to be with US Airways from Port Columbus to NY La Guardia (LGA) and then Delta to Paris (CDG), with the final leg also with Delta from Paris to Abidjan. The total duration of this flight is 19hrs 50mins, whilst many of the other combinations are nearer, and in some cases above, 30hrs.

Why are flight costs so much higher when the departure city is the hub of a major airline

Why are flight costs so much higher when the departure city is the hub of a major airline?
This is for my marketing class - answers from people who work in the travel industry would be especially helpful! Many Americans use round-trip, one-day air travel for business purposes. Prices for these and many other flights vary dramatically, depending on the city of departure. For example, if the departure city is a hub of a major airline, consumers can expect to pay more than they would from a nearby city. In October 2006, a day trip on Delta Airlines from Cincinatti (a Delta hub) to Washington D.C. and back cost $1,038.60. A flight to Washington D.C. from Columbus, Ohio, two hours northeast of Cincinatti, cost $274.71. This is $763.89, or 78 percent less. ***The question is: What is the reason for this cost difference?

Without seeing what you researched if you will it is difficult to answer, because I personally don't think it has anything to do with the "hub" as you say. It has to do with availability, fares, fares out of certain cities which varies, demand, etc. If you were comparing and saw a price of just over a $1,000 good chance the flights were almost sold out and then out of the other city there was plenty of space. This is where you find price differences. Sometimes it will be vice versa. Just because there is plenty of space doesn't mean it will automatically be lower than another city. Again depends on the fares the airlines release out of the cities you are looking at. The fares have several rules such as routing, class of service, book by, travel within, etc. Again without physically seeing what you looked at, I am unable to answer further for you.
