Frequently asked questions

When it's time to book your flights, it's better to be prepared. While you may be able to score a deal on a DET to John Glenn Columbus Intl. Airport (CMH) flight at the last minute, tickets usually don't get cheaper as the date of departure nears. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the sweet spot to lock in a domestic flight is between 28 – 35 days in advance. For international travel it's three to four months.

John Glenn Columbus Intl. Airport (CMH), Ohio State University Airport (OSU) and Rickenbacker Intl. Airport (LCK) are your options when taking off from Detroit to Columbus.
