help me get to Cincinnati without losing an arm and a leg
I have a meeting there next week. It is costly to fly nonstop due to Delta's fortress hub.
How far is Dayton in terms of driving time from downtown Cin?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Where do you live?
For some reason, Nashville/CVG flights have low rates (around $280.00)
Hope this hleps.
I live in Cincinnati and always found Dayton a pain. The North quadrant is always a pain due to high traffic.
But this depends on where you need to go once you arrive.

Sounds like you're going via Dayton, but BWI-SDF would have been another option. Nonstop on Southwest ranges from $142 (14-day) to $217 (walk-up), roundtrip. Louisville to Cincinnati is between 1 1/2-2 hours drive.

My dad lives in the northern suburbs of Cincinnati. I visit a number of times a year and always go into Dayton. It is a really easy airport to get in and out of. It is more like an hour to an hour and 45 minutes from downtown. That is a bit farther than CVG. On the other hand, if you dont have checked bags you can proably make it from your gate to your rental care in 10 minutes. Im guessing 30 minutes at CVG, minumum, maybe 45. Dayton is often much cheaper too as you discovered. I havent flown into CVG for about 7 years.
