Chicago (CHI) to Columbia (CAE)

What did you say?! A trip to Columbia! You'll be needing a flight from Chicago. Well, unless you'd rather hoof it. And although we agree walking is great exercise, you probably want to get there before the year ends. Fortunately, you found us. Hotwire can get you a great deal on your next flight from CHI to CAE.

How do you get the best deal on a flight from CHI to CAE?

Hotwire has been doing this for years, which means getting that great deal on a Columbia flight is easy-peasy. You'll make spending less look so very good with a few simple tips and tricks.

Which days of the week are cheapest to fly?

With the right attitude and flexibility, you can fly for less. Below are the cheapest days to fly:

  • Tuesday and Wednesday—You know how most stores are not crowded midweek? Same thing here. Most people opt to depart at the beginning or end of the week.
  • Thursday and Saturday—Get a head start on that Friday crowd. This also works on your return flight. Shorten your vacay by a day and increase your savings.
  • Monday through Thursday—If you're flying internationally, deals are often available when departing these days.

Why are flights cheaper if you stay over the weekend?

If you stay through the weekend, generally that return ticket to CHI can be cheaper since you'll be leaving earlier in the week. All those business travelers have less elastic schedules, so that means more savings for you. Of course, we don't want to twist your rubber arm or anything.

Why travel during the off-peak season?

Shoulder or off-peak seasons are when most vacationers aren't flying to certain locations. So when it's chilly, most people head to warmer climates like the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, etc., just like our feathered friends. But during the summer, you'll find that Europe gets busy. If you want to save and avoid the crowds, travel when everyone else isn't.

Is that the lowest price?

Airlines change their rates by the hour sometimes. If a price you love pops up, then grab it! There are a lot of others that are seeking a terrific price on a flight from Chicago to Columbia. You could lose your chance to get the carrier and the schedule you need.
