Question

When should I buy my plane ticket? Where should I fly into?

Answer

On average, the best time to buy your ticket is between 21 and 121 days before departure, with the period between 40 and 50 days often mentioned as a golden rule. It is also usually cheaper to fly in on a Thursday or a Friday. We recommend that you download an airfare price analyzer app such as kayak, hopper, or google flights. Airfare price trackers analyze prices daily to predict how prices will change and tells you whether to buy or wait. The best place to fly into is CVG airport. You can fly into Lexington (LEX) which is an hour closer to the Red River Gorge however it may be more expensive depending on where you are flying in from.

Question

Should I rent a car?

Answer

Yes. Most of our guests are coming in from out of town. Since the Red River Gorge has so many things to offer like exploring the waterfalls, arches and all the beautiful sites, we recommend you have a way to get around. It'll be important to have your own transportation especially if you are flying in since you will need a way to get to the venue and to and from wherever you have accommodations. *If you need assistance with finding a ride or carpooling with guests from Cincinnati, we can do our best to help arrange this.
