Airports near Mansfield?

So is the closest airport in Columbus?

Closest airport would be Mansfield-Lahm Airport across the street from the front stretch of the track. Do they have commercial flights? Don't know.

The only OH airport Southwest flies to is Columbus. I got a rate of $159.00 (roundtrip, all taxes included), but wanted to see if there was anything closer/cheaper? The track is a bit over an hour from the airport.

I flew into Columbus last year and made it to Mansfield in less than an hour. It's an easy drive straight north. Car rental was also easy, directly downstairs from the baggage area. I think I was off the plane and down the road in 20-30 minutes. I went from LaGuardia to Columbus for around $200.
it's better than 10 hours on the road!!
