Ever wonder how your hometown ranks on affordability? One thing to consider when booking your flight this summer is the convenience of alternative airports. Sometimes, choosing a lesser-known departure can help save on airfare. For instance, departing from Bob Hope Airport in California can save you more than if you head out from Los Angeles International.
We’ve crunched the numbers and found the cheapest (and priciest) airports to fly out of all over the country, so if yours is on the expensive side, check out neighboring alternatives to cut your travel costs and instead spend on the fun.
For the best summer travel savings, being flexible and taking the path less traveled (literally!) is key.
