Columbia Vacations

The best time to schedule flights to Columbia is during the spring, when the South Carolina orchards and gardens flourish. Temperatures usually sit between 50°F at the coolest and 80°F at the warmest. The climate is considered humid and subtropical, which means that anyone getting off their flights to Columbia during the summer will be greeted with a heat wave of an average 86°F. Winter temperatures can fall below freezing. December and January may see short snowfalls and freezing rain. August and September frequently see hurricanes, making flights to Columbia during this time less desirable.

Columbia’s history dates back to the early days of the United States. Once a strictly colonial city, Columbia still remains a historic hallmark of the days of antebellum plantations. Several remaining heritage homes have been transformed into museums, exhibiting the history of the political changes and movements affecting the state of South Carolina. Today, Columbia has a burgeoning community of arts and Southern cuisine. Surrounded by lush subtropical forest, Columbia is as naturally beautiful as it is modern. From the oak-lined campus grounds of the University of South Carolina, to the incredibly painted Tunnel Vision outdoor mural on Hampton Street, flights to Columbia have much to offer its guests.
