If you'd rather err on the side of caution, book well ahead of your departure date. In fact, you can find some of the biggest deals up to a year in advance. If your preferred carrier hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia all the time.

Determine which hub is the right option for you before you make a decision. If you opt for Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE), it's around 11 kilometers southwest of the city center. Use the cash you save when booking your seat with Expedia to uncover the city's top attractions, such as University of South Carolina and South Carolina State House.
What are the most popular departure times for flights from Charlotte Airport to Columbia Metropolitan Airport?
The most popular departure times for trips from Charlotte-Douglas Intl. Airport (CLT) to CAE fall between 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM on American Airlines. One helpful tip is to jet off in the morning.
