Top flights out of Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE).

Good morning, ColaMiranda here. Being the type of person who has booked spontaneous trips across the country + throughout the world, I’ve learned some travel tips along the way. Lucky for us, we have an airport a mere 15 minutes from downtown – Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE) – which is located just across the bridge in West Columbia. In my experience – I’ve found the best way to look for flights out of CAE is through a quick “Google Flights” search. Here’s how it works:

  • Google “flights from CAE” and select “flights” from the option tabs at the top of the screen.
  • Select the number of passengers, dates, etc.
  • If you’re feeling spontaneous – leave the destination blank and Google will do the rest.

Google search, “Flights from CAE”

Through my quick, two-minute search, I found five flights that would make for the perfect getaway – including a couple of flights just in time for Labor Day weekend. (I also strived to find flights with prices that were budget-friendly – a.k.a. under $350).
