Travel in city Cleveland

Total solar eclipses don’t come along very often, so when they do, there’s always a spike in travel.

The total solar eclipse that will sweep across North America on Monday, April 8, is set to draw crowds from across the continent and beyond. The prize—darkness in the day and a view of the sun’s corona with your naked eyes—is everything, but it’s only open to those inside the 115-mile wide path of totality. You have to be in it to win it.

Frontier Airlines is doubling down on Chicago, with plans to reopen a pilot base that will serve both major airports in the Windy City. 

Frontier Airlines is strengthening its existing service from a major Midwest city early next year. This week, the ultra-low-cost carrier revealed plans to establish a new crew base at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) in March of 2024. To celebrate, it’s offering discounted fares, priced as low as $29, to the 17 destinations to which it now flies from CLE.

Frontier Airlines is betting big on Cleveland, announcing plans on Wednesday to open a crew base in the Ohio city that could create hundreds of jobs for pilots, flight attendants and maintenance technicians.

In August 2021, I booked my first solo trip to Europe: A $439 United flight from Cleveland, Ohio, to Madrid, Spain, with a short layover in Newark, New Jersey. 

In a twist on a birthday celebration, instead of receiving gifts, Frontier Airlines is giving away deals to travelers seeking a late-summer or fall getaway. The airline, which is celebrating its 29th anniversary this year, is offering customers unique deals such as $29 fares in their flight network.
