Flight Information

There are a few airlines that fly into Erie, Pennsylvania. Continental, Delta/Comair, Northwest, and US Airways all fly in there. From experience, we can tell you that the airport is really tiny, they only have 8 or 9 gates. You cannot check-in until 1 hour before departure and your bag may not make it if it's checked in after 30 minutes before departure. We also do not recommend the restaurant there.

There are no direct flights from St. Louis to Erie. The average cost is $250 - $300. You will need to book early in order to get cheaper prices. Airlines usually fly to either Detroit or Cincinnati and you can catch a connecting flight to Erie. An alterative is to fly into Cleveland, Ohio and drive to Erie. Southwest Airlines often offers ticket sales to Cleveland from $39 - $49 one way. Cleveland is about a 2 hour drive from Erie. On a direct flight from St. Louis to Cleveland, it is a 1 hour and 25 minute flight from gate to gate.

Some other alternative locations to fly into are Buffalo or Pittsburgh. Buffalo is also about a 2 hour drive from Erie. Pittsburgh is about a 3 hour drive. We usually do not find any good sales flying into either of those locations.

We daily check for airline sales. If you would like us to contact you when tickets go on sale, please let us know. You will need to tell us dates you want to fly and what times are good for you.
