About Is there a Direct Flight between Pittsburgh, PA and Columbus, Ohio

Is there a Direct Flight between Pittsburgh, PA and Columbus, Ohio?
I used to fly direct between Pittsburgh and Columbus. I am shocked that I can't find a direct flight. Are there any small commuter airlines etc... Amtrak doesn't even go between Pittsburgh and Columbus. Thank you so much and happy travels!

According to Wikipedia, there are flights from Pittsburgh to Columbus on US Airways Express operated by Piedmont Airlines, but this route ends January 5. If you do book this flight with US Airways, keep in mind they charge you $5 to book it through their website, so use Orbitz or another site to avoid the $5 fee You can connect through Philadelphia to get to Columbus.

US Airways Express has one direct flight that still operates after January 5, but it operates only on Sundays and it stops in Charlotte. That's a long way out of your way. Your best bet is Continental Express with a plane change in Cleveland. I think that the previous answer was accidentally reversed. US Airways does not charge $5 to book on their site. It's the third party sites such as Expedia and Orbitz that have the $5 booking fee.

There are no nonstop flights to columbus from PIT, the wikipedia edit is wrong and US airways Express stopped flying to Columbus on September 30, 2007. US Airways cut the flight because they are continually downgrading Pittsburgh every day. sorry I live in Pittsburgh and I lost my US Airways nonstops to Albuquerque, London, and Buffalo which I flew on a lot. Here in Pittsburgh it bothers us but we know we have to move on.
