Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from LAX to OSU last minute?
When it's time to book your flights, being organized pays off. While you may be able to score a deal on a LAX to Ohio State University Airport (OSU) flight at the last minute, tickets usually don't get cheaper as the departure date 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 flights it's three to four months.
What airports do you fly into for Columbus from Los Angeles?
Ohio State University Airport (OSU), John Glenn Columbus Intl. Airport (CMH) and Rickenbacker Intl. Airport (LCK) are your options when taking off from Los Angeles to Columbus. About 14 kilometers northwest of the heart of Columbus, Ohio State University Airport (OSU) is the city's main hub. Consider things like flight departure and arrival times and the distance to your hotel before deciding where you fly into. Ohio State University and COSI are a couple of top attractions to explore when you get to your destination.
