Akron-Canton Airport in North Canton, Ohio, offers the lowest average fare in the state. This is due to the presence of AirTran and Frontier Airlines, which, with four network carriers, offer non-stop flights throughout the US. The airport is considered a good alternative to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.
