FAQs - booking Kentucky flights

  • I want to see and explore Kentucky’s lakes and rivers. Where should I fly?

    One of the most visited waterways in the state is on Lake Cumberland, found in the south of the state near Nancy. A flight to Kentucky’s Owensboro–Daviess County Regional Airport (OWB) is one airport that will put you close to the lake. After landing, you’ll have to take a rental car 2h 40m to the lake. While landing in Lexington is still a bit of a drive, the flight is much cheaper than Owensboro.

  • What is the closest airport to the Kentucky Derby track Churchill Downs?

    Flying into Louisville is the closest airport to the Churchill Downs horse racing track. It’s not a long drive from the airport either. A rental car will take about 15m to get to the track. If you fly to Lexington, you’ll find another horse track called the Keeneland race track.

  • What is the closest airport to the northern border between Kentucky and Cincinnati?

    While the airport is located outside of the state, you can visit the northern-most point of Kentucky by booking a flight to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). This is the best airport for traveling to the border between Cincinnati and Kentucky; however, it is the busiest and most expensive airport offering flights both to and from Kentucky.

  • What is the closest airport for seeing multiple cities and places?

    Arriving in Lexington will put you in the heart of the state. From here you can travel to the surrounding cities and areas. Flights here are less frequent but far more affordable. Consider flying here to connect to other flights around the state, such as Barkley Regional Airport (PAH) or Louisville at Bowman Field (LOU).

  • How long is the flight to Kentucky?

    An average nonstop flight from the United States to Kentucky takes 2h 28m, covering a distance of 851 miles. The most popular route is New York - Nashville with an average flight time of 2h 32m.

  • What is the cheapest flight to Kentucky?

    The cheapest ticket to Kentucky from the United States found in the last 72 hours was $36 one-way, and $39 round-trip. The most popular route is New York LaGuardia to Nashville Intl and the cheapest round-trip airline ticket found on this route in the last 72 hours was $70.

  • Which airlines fly to Kentucky?

    American Airlines, Southwest & Delta fly the most frequently from the United States to Kentucky.

  • What are the most popular destinations in Kentucky?

    Based on KAYAK flight searches, the most popular destination is Nashville (54% of total searches to Kentucky). The next most popular destinations are Cincinnati (19%) and Knoxville (11%). Searches for flights to Louisville (10%), to Lexington (4%) and to Blountville (1%) are also popular.

  • How does KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a given destination and date is likely to change within 7 days, so travelers know whether to wait or book now.

  • Flights departing from and arriving in Louisville might be more frequent, but they will be more expensive, as the Louisville International Airport (SDF) is the second most visited airport in the state. You can save time and money by flying to the Blue Grass Airport.
  • If you don’t want to spend a lot of money to fly to Kentucky, consider booking a flight to Louisville International Airport or Blue Grass Airport from a Southern US city. Airports like Dallas–Fort Worth (DFW) are much less expensive to fly from. While flights from the West Coast like the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) are a little more expensive, they are also more frequent.
  • Consider booking a flight to the Nashville International Airport (BNA) to get to Kentucky. It’s 45 mi from the border of Kentucky. Flights here will be less expensive than flying directly to Louisville, but a little more expensive than flying to the Northern Kentucky International Airport.
  • The quickest way to visit the western half of Kentucky is to fly to Paducah, KY, and land at Barkley Regional Airport. It’s on the border of St. Louis, and flights to Louisville will be cheaper, if you choose to depart from Paducah.

Much better than the.last. flight on SW on Thanksgiving day

Fine, but how to board on SW versus othrr airlines, is just lame. Goood staff though and all was solid otherwise.

The movies using Southwest WiFi kept pausing and I had to restart multiple times.

It went well. Plane wasn't full. Will be great when assigned seating is in place

Everything was great except the food. The pretzels are really crappy.

For the first time in a long time we had a flawless experience with Southwest. Both flights were early and no mechanical errors at all. We were shocked and pleasantly surprised 😮.

It was fine. For some reason the flight was much longer than usual. It may have been explained, but I had noise cancelling earbuds on and missed a couple of announcements. The crew was fine, but there was a flight attendant who kept telling dumb jokes, occasionally one I found distasteful. This was my second time with him, but luckily it was a late flight so he didn't do as many. But I heard all of today's jokes twice, which was two times too many. Good takeout and landing.

One of the crew performed a hilarious skit to accompany the standard instructions. Passengers enjoyed it so much they applauded at the end!

First, my flight was a usual flight nothing exceptional or unexpected. Over all it was a normal, good flight! Second, your questionaire is wholly lacking in the proper options to which one can answer a question. Often on short flights, there is no food let alone entertainment so why isn't that reflected in your questionaire? A simple "not applicable" would cover that issue appropriately but no, your form arbitrarily enters an answer based on the initial assessment which normally isn't factual. Until you provide an accurate means of assessing flights, I'll no longer be completing of these unimpressive and misleading assessements. Thank you!

This was a nicer flight - not fully booked and so we were able to spread out.

Inexpensive, got an exit row aisle aeat with no middle passenger, bought a great breakfast sandwich, flight comfortable & arrived ahead of schedule.

Customer service at the gate in the flight was exceptional. On time. Aircraft and seat was decent. Thanks Delta. 💗

It was terrible, if they ran flights on time it would make a big difference.

Great flight. On-time, comfortable, clean aircraft, and offered snacks pre-flight to plan for a potentially turbulent route. I wish there was Wi-Fi an all Delta Aircrafts but for a short flight this is not much of a problem.

Delta seems to be improving in many areas, except they are super bad with the food available. Bring back normal food service on long flights.

If I pay extra for "comfort+" I expect leg room where I can stretch my legs. I was seated with an attendant's seat blocking my feet. Knee space was fine but my feet had less room than the non-"comfort+" seats. Also, don't go cheap on food when you have flights of 3+ hours. It's insulting.

Everything was good except when we're on a 6 hour flight at dinner time and all they offer as part of the fare are little bags of junk food, it's disappointing. Bring back food service without an added price.

I sat in comfort plus. It was fine. Seats were comfortable. I got drinks and snacks.

Crew was nice. Flight was timely. Seats could be better as well as the food considering it’s first class.

Left on time and arrived early this extending our 31 minute transfer. Bags made it also!

Was a pain having to leave the plane and reboard but glad the plane was fixed

How badly can you screw up baggage claim? We were told to go to baggage claim too for our bags from this flight. Another flights bags were there. They finished up. More bags from a different flight arrived. Our bags did not Finally the baggage claim belt stopped working and and are flight was still listed on the arrivals for that baggage claim 2. And then nothing It turns out that they had been delivered not only the United baggage claim but far away on a Delta baggage claim No I never told us. It was only the people looking around who had been on the flight But I’m sure there was plenty of time for the employees to raffle through the bags and steal whatever they wanted

The bag drop personal were not helpful. There was no food on the flight. Boeing aircraft, lousy as always. Everything else was fine.

We had to wait almost an hour for the wheelchair porter to be ready to pick up my mother. And when she arrived in Newark airport the porter was not there and she started walking with her cane and her poor mobility. When the Newark porter found her they didn't want to transfer her bags to the wheelchair for her.

I was forced to check my carry-on backpack despite there being space - but it came out on the baggage carousel so fast it didn't even delay my pickup. Otherwise a good flight. Boarding began early (which was disadvantageous for me) but fine.

Overall great. I was forced to check my carry-on backpack from EWR to BOS but it came out on the luggage carousel so fast I didn't even get delayed for my pickup.

Boarding was easy. RDU gates can get crowded, be prepared to be patient. Flight was smooth, with excellent service. Pilots really provided a lot of visibility into flight details. Plane and seats were clean and serviceable. TY!

The flying experience was great. The flight was on time with no boarding issues during a peak travel period. The short cut baggage drop and process was not smooth and efficient at Dulles.

No food service almost missed because of first flight delays

It was good. Just that the seats could not be reclined. The people behind were not ready to let the chairs be reclined

The gate changed over 6 times in the 4 hours before this flight having us walking all over and back again. The agent told me that the American app and the airport monitors are not reliable and I should Google the flight number for accurate flight information! Shocking tip but the gate still kept changing anyway and then the flight was delayed an hour because of another maintenance issue. Not a great experience.

Multiple maintenance delays and the missed and rebooked connection changed gates at least 6 times including one which had us walking 20 minutes to another terminal and then back again. Seated our family of three in different middle seats throughout the plane and then there was an empty seat next to me. Very long travel day which I would have never agreed to if I knew the itinerary would be changed at 5 am, 2 hours before takeoff.

Promised lounge access, gate agent didn't allow us entry.

We were offered Flight Change due to overbooking. We accepted and chose an earlier flight. We went to Rebooking center to make the change but agent told us no changes permitted on our Basic ticket. AA should not have made the offer to change our flight.

Flight overall was good. Landing was a little rough, but could be attributed to the rainy weather.

Check bag location is full of rude employees who are unwilling to assist with issues after talking to AA on the phone and relaying messages. The boarding was good. While on the flight it got really hot. Asked flight attendant if there’s a way to drop the temp and make it more comfortable as we are flying from DC to Miami so flying from cold to hot weather. No changes made. Stayed hot and uncomfortable on the plane. When asked again about the AC being down the flight attendant said no the WiFi was down but not the AC. I mentioned it was still hot. No changes.

I was in a wheelchair and went from international to domestic. I was transferred to several different modes of transport and expected to give a tip at each transfer. I was, although, grateful to get to the gate in time for my flight.

They didn't have any gluten-free snacks, oddly, which I require...or any flavored soda water or decaf tea options, which seems to be standard.

The flight was great, and I have never ridden in first class previously so I don't have any practical knowledge of the norm. The flight out to DFW was delayed and I sat in economy which was as expected, not nearly as spoiled as I was in first class which had more general room but that is par for the course. I have no complaints and will wait until I fly American again before I can make a valid improvement. I will fly American again in the future.

The plane was very warm and the crew turned on the lights for the entire snack service.

My other half doesn't have his luggage and I made a mistake by getting 3 check in bags instead of 2 and I'm going through changes to get credit for the one I didn't use. There giving me the run around!

Terrible all around. Not much else to say, other than an awful experience from start to finish.

The gate area was terrible at San Diego airport -way too crowded in a small space. Since my husband was driving to our destination, we did not have to take any luggage so my kids and I only had backpacks. Therefore everything was easy and smooth. And we didn’t have to pay up charges for everything and it was a short flight. I tried table was broken and it was a little cramped, but it was fine for what we needed. I probably would not fly spirit on a longer flight and if I had to take baggage.

Boarding procedure is horribly slow. You charge me to check a bag and would not let me carry it on. Charged me to simply select a seat. Charged me for water. Charged me for every little thing on top of paying for an expensive ticket. Your seats are terrible. So uncomfortable, they don’t recline. No WiFi, no way to charge my phone. No entertainment. I mean you Offer noting and you charge for everything. Why would anyone want to fly with you again?

Arrived at 3:45am & found a long line where Spirit employees were standing at the counter but no one was working. Worried if I’d make the flight. Line started moving about 4:15 and got to check my bag at 4:30, realize my flight was at 5:25. Lines thru security were long, got to flight and walked right on. Spirit was cheapest when selected but not after $70/bag and $30/seat - extra $200.

It was smooth. It’ll always be annoying that nothing is included in the booking (seats and bags particularly).

The boarding was quick and orderly, but the seating is tight and not in a good way.

Helpful attendants at check-in is very good. The $70 charge for a checked bags I didn't care for.and the constant charges for picking a seat and faster check-in are too much. Please cut the prices by at least 50% would be fantastic!

Absolutely the MOST uncomfortable seat I've EVER had on ANY airline. It should be a criminal act (cruel & unusual punishment). NEVER AGAIN will I travel your airline.

The MOST uncomfortable seat I've EVER experienced on ANY airlines. My wife & I were in agony at the end of the flight. NEVER AGAIN!
