play

The end of summer is fast approaching, but there’s still time to hop on a flight and get away. In August, there are direct flights from Knoxville that won’t break the bank.

Online travel agency Hopper found eight round-trip domestic flights from McGhee Tyson Airport for less than $175. The cheapest flight in August is $90 to Philadelphia, but a summer trip to Houston or Miami might be worth the extra cost.

Domestic round-trip airfares are expected to average $267 in August, up slightly from the same period last year, according to Hopper economist Hayley Berg. But that’s down 5% from July’s average of $282.

Where is the cheapest place to fly from Knoxville right now?

Hopper found cheap round-trip tickets to Philadelphia, Orlando and Denver from McGhee Tyson in August, with the lowest price being $90. There are also flights to Chicago, Dallas and Miami for under $200.

These tickets are likely to be purchased through the low-cost airlines available at McGhee Tyson, including Allegiant, Avelo, and Frontier. Low-cost airlines typically have the lowest fares, but charge additional fees for carry-on bags, seat assignments, and other services.
