Akron-Canton has biggest fare reduction
Posted on 10/29/2008 by Kristie VanAuken
It's officially official. CAK has really low fares compared to most other airports in the U.S. According to the Business Courier of Cincinnati… "The Akron/Canton Airport posted one the biggest reductions since 1995, to $292 in the second quarter of 2008 from $376 in 1995, a 22.5 percent decline."

If you've ever seen Thomas, you'd know that he is always sporting a funky, cool fedora hat. So we decided to do a whole promotion wrapped around hats. Let's see, there's my business traveler hat, the vacation hat, the pick up your friend at the airport hat and of course, my hard hat. Check out the

I am so excited! Kevin Healy, a big wig at AirTran Airways, is coming to CAK to talk to the SMEI Akron group next Tuesday. Sign up here. You may wonder why I am so jazzed about this. Well, Kevin notoriously says nice things about CAK…but it's not only that. I really, really respect this guy. He has spent most of his career in the airline industry deciding where to put airplanes, how to grow profitability and leading a...
