A FinanceBuzz study shows the average domestic airline ticket price to and from Harry Reid International Airport is the third lowest among 45 major airports in the United States last year.
It was the first time since 2018 that Reid, formerly known as McCarran International Airport, did not have the lowest ticket prices.
The FinanceBuzz study showed that the national airfare cost rose by 0.3 percent from 2020 to 2021. Adjusted for inflation, it was the first time since 2014 that the average airfare cost has increased year over year.
Joe Rajchel, spokesman for Reid International, said competition among several airlines, many of them ultra-low-cost carriers such as Allegiant Air, Frontier and Spirit, help keep fares low.
