Does anybody know where you can get a rapid antigen test for travel at a good price ? The cheapest I can find is $75.

That definitely depends on where you are. Here in Oregon, we can get them for $0. But we have a radical liberal socialist snowflake woke state health care system. You have to be enrolled in either a private or one of the state-sponsored (Oregon Health Plan) coverage plans. Otherwise (like, if you're visiting from out of state), the price is $69 at CVS.
Where are you traveling from and to? The CARES Act generally makes covid tests free, but in some locations, that only includes a molecular, not a rapid antigen test.
I picked up a Rx at Cornerstone Pharmacy yesterday and they gave me four (unsolicited) home test kits. Free. I asked "what the heck?" and the manager said "they" are doing this a lot now to help people get tested (my paraphrase). Check with your local pharmacy(s).
Also, one of our representatives sends a newsletter which last time gave a link to register for four free home Covid tests. Nothing to do with politics or insurance. Got four in the mail.
I thought I answered this yesterday, so apologies if this is a repeat.
What airlines are requiring this? I know my sister had to pay for a "within 48 hours" test to and from Canada to US last July for our family reunion, but I'm unaware of any domestic flights requiring proof of Covid test. Thanks and good luck.
