this is not just related to CLE
My comparisons are related to CLE and comparing to local outbound options.:
1.) CLE is much higher than CMH, DTW, & CAK, which are airports within driving range for me.
- CLE 1 hr
- DTW 1hr 35 min
- CAK 1 hr 45 min
- CMH 2 hr 5 min
2.)
United is highest from any location with each comparison
Yesterday i chose my travel for 9/24-28 and USAir won with a fare of $391 out of CLE
Closest United could get from any of the 4 airports I mentioned was $752.
DL came in at $419.
Chose USAir out of CLE to at least continue work on hitting PLAT Status again.
Flying DL this week from CAK.
