New federal numbers show the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport area has the nation's highest ticket prices.
Federal transportation statistics show the facility had an average round-trip ticket price of $514 during the first quarter this year. Officials are optimistic that the airport in northern Kentucky will start to drop in the federal airfare rankings later this year as new low-cost carriers catch on. Cleveland ranks 7th highest on the list of the 100 largest U.S. airports while Columbus placed 35th.
