Sky-high MSP fares coming down to Earth after pandemic heights

The average airfare nationally from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport actually declined this month.

That's good news for Minnesota travelers, especially after a survey this past fall found flights from MSP were the third-most expensive in the nation, averaging $456 a ticket on domestic travel.

"Right now, domestic airfare departing from Minneapolis is averaging $270 per ticket," said Hayley Berg, lead economist for the travel booking app Hopper. "That is lower than this time last year by 3.8% but higher than 2021 by 3.6%."
