Most commercial flights to the Columbus area land at CMH (John Glenn Columbus International). As of publication, airlines serving CMH include Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Breeze Airways, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Sun Country Airlines, United Airlines, and seasonal charter service operated by Viva Aerobus via a tour operator. Allegiant Air flies into the separate LCK (Rickenbacker International) passenger terminal.
CMH is the primary passenger airport on the city’s east side and handles the major U.S. carriers plus several low-cost and leisure operators. LCK is south of downtown and is a smaller passenger operation focused on Allegiant’s point-to-point routes.
Airline lineups and routes change by season and year. For the most current list, check the airport’s official airline page or your carrier’s site before you book, and confirm the airport code on your ticket.
If you remember one thing, assume you’re flying into CMH unless your reservation specifically says LCK.
