Akron-Canton Airport in North Canton, Ohio, offers the lowest average fare in the state. This is due to AirTran and Frontier Airlines, which, with four network carriers (Delta Connection, Northwest Airlink, United Express, and US Airways Express), offer nonstop flights throughout the U.S. – 90 arrival and departure flights. The airport is considered a good alternative to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. www.akroncantonairport.com
