New federal statistics show Huntsville has the nation's most expensive airplane tickets.

A report from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows the
average domestic airfare for the north Alabama city cost $471 in
the second quarter of this year. That's $68 higher than the
second-place city, Grand Rapids, Mich.

Pensacola Gulf Coast Regional Airport has the 8th highest airfares in the country (average of $371.86)

Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is 68th (average $278.65)

Mobile Regional Airport was not part of the survey.

Atlantic City, N.J., had the lowest average cost for an airplane
ticket, at $185.

None of the prices include extra charges like bag fees. The
statistics are for one-way and round-trip tickets.
