COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — East Coast lovers, Disney World enthusiasts and Ohio State football fans all have something to look forward to at John Glenn Columbus International Airport.
The airport has announced that Breeze Airways has launched seasonal nonstop service from Columbus to Portland, Maine. Now, twice a week, travelers can catch a flight to the charming New England town. The temporary schedule operates on Mondays and Fridays and runs through fall, ending on Dec. 1.
In its “FlyColumbus” newsletter, the organization noted that the flight is “perfect for a long weekend getaway or a laid-back Northeast adventure.” Known for its iconic lighthouses, historic waterfront and fresh coastal air, Portland is just one flight away from Columbus.
Looking ahead to winter, Delta Air Lines will launch Saturday-only nonstop service from CMH to Orlando (MCO) starting Dec. 20. Flights depart at 8 a.m. and run weekly through April 11. The schedule is designed for vacationers looking for a warm-weather break, whether they take a magical trip to Walt Disney World, a thrilling visit to Universal’s Epic Universe or simply want to soak up the Florida sunshine.
Buckeye Nation is also getting a bonus this fall. Delta is also adding 40 extra flights for select college football games this season, with two trips that make getting back to Ohio Stadium easier. According to the airline, most flights will operate on Fridays, returning on Sundays and “operate on a mix of both mainline Delta flights and Delta Connection flights.”
“College football is one of the great American traditions, and Delta is excited to help bring even more fans to the games that matter to them the most,” said Amy Martin, vice president North America Network Planning. “With these increases, Delta is adding about 8,000 additional seats for customers, making it easier and more convenient for fans to be there for every kickoff, touchdown and victory.”
For those who bleed scarlet and gray and are looking to return to the Ohio Stadium, an Austin (AUS) to CMH schedule is available for the Aug. 30, 2025, Texas at Ohio State game. Additionally, a CMH to Los Angeles (LAX) is planned for Nov. 15, 2025, UCLA at Ohio State game.
