If you’re on a budget, you undoubtedly take finances into account while planning travel adventures. Whether you’re flying across the country or setting up an international adventure, you know that airports can claim a significant chunk of change as travel plans unfold. From pre-boarding dining to parking fees, airports certainly aren’t known for catering to the frugal traveler – but being aware of America’s most expensive airports can help you strategically plan your next journey to avoid breaking the bank. An annual list from The Point Guy reveals the country’s priciest hubs.

When you fly in or out of Newark, you’ll also likely spend a significant amount of money on a taxi or rideshare service to your final destination.

It’s worth noting that average domestic flight fares only played a partial role in calculating these rankings, and the airports with more expensive flights didn’t necessarily top the list of most expensive airports overall.
