For a journey from Memphis, TN to Athens, OH, I recommend flying to Columbus (CMH) and then renting a car to reach Athens. American Airlines offers reliable flights on this route. Once you arrive at Columbus, you can rent a car from Hertz to enjoy a scenic drive through Ohio, taking the I-71 N to Athens.
Ensure you book your car in advance to avail of better rates and availability.
