A 2026 report from LocalsInsider.com, a digital travel platform, highlights the most and least affordable major airports in the U.S., and the numbers show that where you fly can significantly impact your wallet. Earning the title of the country's cheapest major air hub is Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL), with average fares of $261.69 and a location convenient to several of the Sunshine State's iconic attractions. Right behind is Orlando International (MCO) and Harry Reid International (LAS) in Las Vegas. Tourists on the hunt for bargains may want to consider the Southeast for vacations: Florida snagged four of the top 10 spots for the most affordable major airports.
