Airlines

Airline	Phone	CMH-JFK/LGA direct?	CMH-PHL direct?	Fly to Islip?	Comments
American Airlines		NO			.
America West Airlines	1-800-235-9292	YES	YES		Has a very convenient schedule -- too bad they never keep to it!!! This is the WORST airline in the business -- do NOT fly them
Continental Airlines	1-800-525-0280	NO		YES	Good service especially to Islip (thru Cleveland) But watch out for when they code-share with AmWest. Then it is horrible.
Delta Airlines	1-800-221-1212	NO		YES	Almost useless website. Infinite phone on-hold times which is made worse by the fact that they have talking messages all the time, instead of music, so you can't zone it out.
Air Jamaica		NO
Midway Airlines		NO	NO
Northwest Airlines	1-800-225-2525	NO		YES
Southwest Airlines	1-800-435-9792	NO	NO	YES	Best fares-- especially if booking at last moment Does not fly to PHL at all
TWA					Does not fly between CMH and PHL
United Airlines	1-800-241-6522	NO		YES
