When is the best time to purchase an airline ticket for December? Now, or maybe next month?
I'm looking for a flight from Columbus to Las Vegas for the week around Christmas. Should I buy now? Or, should I try to wait on a seat sale from Southwest?

Christmas is a busy time for airlines, the sooner you book the cheaper it should be.

Go to farecast.com, it will predict when it's best to purchase tickets. My friends and I use this all the time and it always works for us. It will also compare prices from priceline,expedia, etc.

Easy question to answer... despite being the capitol of Ohio, Columbus is not a high volume travel city for business O&D (origin/destination travel); nor is it the hub for any airline ort ideally located to become one. RJ
2 :
No airline has a hub there and airlines do not see a lot of demand from the people living there so that is why there are not as many direct flights.
3 :
Actually, Columbus has a fairly good set of nonstop destinations. You can fly to every major hub in the U.S. -- JFK, LGA, EWR, LAX, Chicago O'Hare and Midway, Atlanta, DFW, and dozens of others. While there are no international destinations other than Toronto and Cancun, you have to realize that Columbus is not NYC -- we aren't going to get extensive international flights any time soon. The only cities in the U.S. that we are really lacking are Salt Lake City (which we lost a few years ago), the San Francisco bay area, and Seattle. I think those flights will come in the next five to ten years or so. Honestly though, it could be much worse. Ask Toledo.

If your flight is on a weekday not a holiday it will be cheaper. Off hours, as in before 6 am and after 8pm, will be cheaper too.
2 :
The most expensive days for flight departures are typically Friday and Sunday. When you are looking for airfare, airlines tend to offer additional sales if you book on a Tuesday - Thursday. (This is referring to the day of the week you purchase the flight, not the day you are flying.)

My ex was the President of the Chamber there a time ago. There are plenty of festivals going on in the summer, and there is a big festival to celebrate Columbus Day in October. Go to the Columbus Dispatch, or the Columbus Chamber on line to get information. Lots of shopping, and there is a German Town, and Greek Festival. Downtown is clean. Have fun!!!! Columbus is also the Capital of Ohio, so lots of history.

Anyone missed a flight on purpose
Anyone missed a flight on purpose?
Planning to travel to Atlanta, GA from Columbus,OH on Oct 21st but found the airfare to be pricey (around $529), whereas flight from Columbus, OH to Jacksonville, FL on the same day with 1 stop at Atlanta, GA is $100. Want to check whether I can book a ticket from Columbus, OH to Jacksonville, FL & discontinue my journey after Atlanta, GA. One way trip with no check-in luggage

OH David ,only you can think of something as wacky as that.
2 :
$100 total? That doesn't sound right... To answer your question though, you would be able to book that flight if ATL was your final destination and just skip the Jacksonville leg of the flight.
3 :
You can, but your return voyage (back to Columbus whenever you return) will most likely be canceled.
4 :
If you check luggage, it will continue on without you - so you'll want to only have carry on. Other than that, it shouldn't be a problem at all. You might even want to inform that at the counter so they aren't holding the seat for you.
5 :
that fine i somtimes do that to!
6 :
As long as it is a one trip with no checked luggage your fine. If it were round trip the system would cancel your return trip. If you had checked luggage they would consider it fare jumping and charge you the addition fee to pick up your luggage.
7 :
it may sound simple but it's not if you get off your flight at the connection point you could be in all kinds of trouble first of all it may just be a stop and the passenger wait on the aircraft in which case you could not deplane even if it is a connection and you don't get on the second half of the trip you could find homeland security all over you not worth it
