_Insider_: Security is smoothest from 5:30 to 6:30 a.m., ideal before the intense morning rush. - _Time_: Allocate extra time for rental returns during OSU games to sidestep potential traffic snarls. - _Money_: Opt for the Green or Red Long-Term Lots over garage parking for trips of 3+ days to save on costs. - _Local_: Sip on Columbus’s own Crimson Cup coffee post-security for a local touch over chain options. - _Avoid_: Don't rely on public transit early in the morning; taxis or rideshares are better for early or late arrivals. - _Quiet_: Walk the concourses for plane spotting without the long treks typical at larger airports. - _Local_: Sample local craft brews like Land-Grant at the airport locations — a taste journey right in the terminal. - _Quiet_: Even with construction, wayfinding remains straightforward. Keep an eye on signs to navigate CMH seamlessly. --- ## Live data Live arrivals, departures, and weather are not in this static reference.
