Travel by Air

The John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) is about 20 minutes from the Ohio State University and is the most convenient option for air travel. Please visit the airport website for a list of airlines and cities with daily direct flights: flycolumbus.com.  

Please note that the drive may take longer during rush hour. 

Several options are available for transportation to and from the airport.

  • The Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) provides direct bus service between the airport and downtown. It’s called AirConnect, an affordable and easy way to reach downtown hotels and the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Purchase your ride pass with a credit card at the bus stop, which is just to the right of the taxi station. COTA’s AirConnect service runs every 30 minutes, 7 days a week. From downtown Columbus, COTA buses can take passengers to OSU. 
  • Taxis and pick-up locations for ride-sharing services are available on the ground transportation level of the terminal 24 hours a day. The electronic meter will compute your fare from John Glenn International to your destination. For more information, visit flycolumbus.com/getting-to-from/taxis-rideshare.
  • There are nine car rental agencies located at the airport. Check-in counters are located on the ground floor of the parking garage and include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, Payless, and Thrifty.  

Parking

The parking garage at 2050 Tuttle Park Place is the closest public parking to the Blackwell Inn. The daily maximum rate is US$19.25. Parking rates are subject to change. For the most current information, please visit https://osu.campusparc.com/home/garages/academic-north-campus/tuttle-park-place.

Surface lot payment options are valid only for surface lots; if you park in a garage, all hourly fees must be paid upon exit. All parking rules are enforced 24/7. Some surface lots include Pay-by-Plate machines located throughout campus, allowing visitors to purchase parking. To pay for parking, walk to the nearest Pay-by-Plate machine (clearly marked by directional signs). Enter your license plate number and select the form of payment and amount of parking time desired, as indicated by printed instructions on the Pay-by-Plate machine. Since payment verification is done by license plate, it is imperative that you enter your license plate information correctly. Please verify all information before finalizing your transaction. Machines do not provide change or refunds. Check the campus parking map for Pay-by-Plate locations at osu.campusparc.com/docs/default-source/maps/campus-parking-map.pdf?sfvrsn=67.
