Fall is the perfect time to plan your next adventure — and with 50+ nonstop destinations and 130+ departures each day from Columbus airports (CMH and LCK), the only question is: Where to first? 

Need some inspiration? Here are a few of our favorite fall trip ideas: 

Park-hopping

Fly to Orlando (Southwest, Delta, Frontier, Spirit — with Delta service beginning this December, or with Allegiant out of Rickenbacker) or Los Angeles (American, Spirit) and experience the magic of world-class theme parks. Whether it’s riding roller coasters, meeting your favorite characters, or exploring immersive lands that take you far, far away, your inner kid will thank you. 

"Yes, Chef" — culinary delights await

Savor your way through: 

  • Toronto (Air Canada) 
  • New York City (American, Delta, Spirit, United — serving JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark) 
  • Chicago (Southwest, American, United — serving Midway and O’Hare) 

From Michelin-star restaurants to hidden neighborhood gems, your next unforgettable meal is just a flight away. 

Endless summers

Not ready to say goodbye to the sunshine? Head to Cancun, Mexico (American Airlines this fall), where turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, and all-inclusive resorts keep the summer vibe going year-round. 

Or keep it closer to home with 10+ Florida destinations from Columbus — perfect for extending summer with a quick trip to the beach, the pool, or the palm trees. 

Fourth and goal

Football fans, rejoice — our airline partners have expanded flights for college game days, and we also fly nonstop to NFL cities like: 

  • Denver (Frontier, Southwest, United) 
  • Philadelphia (American) 
  • Dallas (American, Southwest — serving Dallas Love Field and Dallas/Fort Worth) 

Your next touchdown could be in the stands. 

Spooky season

Celebrate all things eerie in Savannah’s (Allegiant out of LCK) historic and haunted streets or Boston’s (American, Delta, Spirit) cobblestone-lined past. 

Leaf-peeping

See the leaves in full color in: 

  • Seattle (Alaska) 
  • Hartford (Breeze) 
  • Portland, Maine (Breeze) 

Fall foliage and crisp air? Yes, please. 

Opt for the outdoors

Whether it’s hiking in Phoenix (American, Southwest) or exploring a national park, there’s no shortage of fresh-air escapes to choose from. 

Sweater weather

Cozy up in Minneapolis (Delta, Sun Country), where cooler temps make every coffee shop stop and museum visit extra inviting. 

 

With so many nonstop destinations to choose from, fall travel from Columbus has never been easier. Start planning now — your next getaway starts here.
