Next time you are about to jet off on your next trip away, consider whether you will be crossing state lines from your city of residence to the airport you must depart from. Many of the nation’s busiest airports are located nearby or within the city limits, but there is a handful across America that serve major population centers of a different state. While this list is not exhaustive by any means, Simple Flying put the spotlight on a handful we found. Can you name any more?
Crossing the border to save money
While it doesn’t always spring to mind when purchasing your ticket, the cost of your airfare comprises several fees, levies, and the actual airfare for the airline itself. Passengers are charged to fly to and from a destination, bound by rules and restrictions for that airline.
Airfare taxes also include several US government-imposed taxes, including federal ticket excise tax, passenger facility charge, federal security charge, federal flight segment tax, and passenger facility charge, which are all passed onto the consumer.

The airport you are departing and arriving from also charges a landing and parking fee for the aircraft to visit; in return, this cost is also born by the traveler, which is why some airports are cheaper to fly to than others (a prime example being Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), versus the more busy Dulles International Airport (IAD)).
Serving major cities, across the state line
Simple Flying got out the map and analyzed several US airports that serve cities across the state line, and while we can appreciate this airport still cater to many within their local state and region, we can also acknowledge that many travelers do sometimes travel from wide and far to an airport that may provide lower airfares, or better network connections to those in their home state. Let’s look at the list:
1 Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport
IATA Code: CVG
Serves:
Kenton County, Covington – Kentucky, Cincinnati – Ohio
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International The Boone County Airport is located in Boone County, Kentucky, and is the key gateway for travelers to Cincinnati, Ohio.

One of three main airports serving New York City, Newark Liberty International Airport competes directly with La Guardia and New York John F Kennedy, which are both located within New York State. Across the Hudson River, Newark is a hub for 
United Airlines, just nine miles (14 kilometers) from downtown Manhattan.
It is a major gateway for travel to Europe, South America, Asia, and Oceania and is jointly owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. It is the second busiest airport in the New York area, behind JFK.
3 Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport
IATA code: IFP
Serves:
Bullhead City- Arizona, Laughlin – Nevada
Located in Mohave County, Arizona, is Laughlin/Bullhead International Airport. It is owned by Mohave County and is located across the Colorado River from Laughlin, Nevada. If you’re residing in one of the casinos in Laughlin, you may have a birdseye view from your hotel room to the airport’s runway.
Historically, the airport had scheduled services to Phoenix, operated by American Eagle, which were suspended in February 2018. Today, the airport has no scheduled passenger services but does see regular charter flights by Sun Country Airlines and Allegiant Air.
4 Reno-Tahoe International Airport
IATA code: RNO
Serves:
Reno – Nevada, Lake Tahoe, Tahoe City – California

Located just three miles from Reno and 51 miles from Tahoe City, Reno-Tahoe International Airport is the second busiest airport in the state of Nevada. Today, the airport welcomes services from most major US carriers, including 
Alaska Airlines, America, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, Spirit Airlines, and United.
It also has one international service, with Volaris direct to Guadalajara. Once upon a time, Thomas Cook Airlines, also connected Reno to London Gatwick, however this was canceled in 2015 citing insufficient border control capacity at the airport to handle their larger Airbus A330 deployed on the route.
Notable mentions
While our list is not exhaustive, the list continues for many more airports that serve cities across state or international borders. How many more can you name? Simple Flying acknowledges that some of these may see higher passenger numbers from their home state but also cater to other residents in neighboring states or countries.
