Best Time to Book: Avoid Peak Seasons
January is the cheapest month for flights to Cincinnati (average $210), while August peaks at $480 due to the Cincinnati Reds baseball season and Music Festival.

Conversely, flying on Fridays costs 18% more than Tuesdays, based on 2023 Q3 data from Google Flights.

Spirit charges $35 for carry-on bags on all routes, even for $247 base fares—this cost nearly doubled my trip in February 2024. Always check baggage fees before booking.
