Expensive Airports, Expensive Fares

For those of you that are scaling back on some of the private jet usage, and flying with commercial airlines instead, note that depending on your departure airport, your airfare can be more expensive. Take for example a flight to Texas. Is you’re flying into Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport, you’ll probable pay the most expensive average domestic airfare in the U.S. which is about $477. If you were to take your flight from 29 miles away at Hobby Airport, you will pay the lowest average airfare in the country for about $299. That’s quite a difference. The average airfare have continuously increased for the past three years at Houston’s Bush Intercontinental and it’s not the only airport that’s expensive to fly out from.

MSN reports a list of the top 10:
Houston Bush in Texas, Huntsville in Alabama, Newark-Liberty in New Jersey, Cincinnati in Ohio, Washington Dulles, Charleston in South Carolina, Memphis and Knoxville Tennessee, Dallas Fort-Worth in Texas and Madison, Wisconsin.
So if you’re not flying on a private aircraft due to budget cuts, make sure you’re really saving money by avoiding these most expensive airports when you can.
