Getting Around Columbus

The most convenient airport is in Columbus, OH (CMH-John Glenn Columbus Intl.), situated 6.6 mi (10.6 km) away from the city center. If that doesn't suit your budget, you can arrange flights in and out of Marion, OH (MNN-Marion Municipal), which is 45.4 mi (73.1 km) away. Columbus may not have many public transit options to choose from so a rental car could be an economical alternative to see more of the area.
