Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from RAL to CAE last minute?
Booking your trip from RAL to Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE) last minute could save you some dough if you're lucky to find a terrific deal. However, airfares typically don't come down in price as the date of departure nears. If you hold off, flights could also be booked up or the best seats gone (hello, middle seat!). If you'd rather err on the side of caution, book well ahead of your departure date. Keep in mind that some of the best deals can be found up to 12 months in advance. If your favorite airline hasn't released tickets yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia constantly.
What airports do you fly into for Columbia from Riverside?
From Riverside, you can travel to Columbia via Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE), Sumter, SC (SSC-Shaw Air Force Base) and Aiken, SC (AIK-Aiken Municipal). Determine which airport is best for you before making your decision. If you opt for Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE), it's approximately 11 kilometers southwest of the city center. Use the dough you save when booking your fare with Expedia to check out the city's well-known attractions, such as University of South Carolina and South Carolina State House.
Can I change the date of my flight from RAL to CAE?
Make changes quickly to your RAL to Columbia Metropolitan Airport flight via the Expedia Trips portal. But before doing so, review the fare rules in your itinerary to learn what the airline will allow you to do and if charges apply. Some carriers have a change fee per person, plus any difference in prices. However, if you booked in the last 24 hours, you may be able to cancel for free and book new flights. You can also head to our Customer Service portal to find the answers to your questions and to chat with our Virtual Agent.
