When planning a flight, the cost of the ticket can depend on both the airline and the airport from which you are departing. Many travelers prefer to fly out of their nearest airport, but choosing a less convenient one might save money.
The United States Department of Transportation recently analyzed average fares from 150 busy airports across the country. Tallahassee International Airport (TLH) in Florida topped the list with an average ticket price of $561. Despite handling nearly a million passengers annually and seeing a 13% increase in traffic, TLH remains costly. Factors contributing to this include its status as Florida's state capital and proximity to Florida State University, alongside limited nearby alternatives like Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport.
Following TLH is Huntsville International Airport (HSV) in Alabama, where tickets average $561.69. HSV serves many business travelers from companies like NASA, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman.
