Cheap flights to St. Louis

St Louis overview

Visitors to St. Louis are greeted by the Gateway Arch, standing 630-feet high and constructed completely of stainless steel. Historically, St. Louis was a centre for travellers from all over the world who were heading westward in search of new opportunities and a new life. In the early 1900’s, the ‘Show Me State’ of Missouri hosted the World’s Fair and as a result, witnessed the beginning of the city’s innovation and technology boom.

Today the city is blanketed with history, but also rich in entertainment. Travellers take flights to St. Louis every summer for one of the best Independence Day celebrations in the nation. Take a tour around the city centre and visit the Anheuser Busch Brewery and Busch Stadium, home of MLB St. Louis Cardinals.
