For those of you coming in from out of town, we recommend flying out of Springfield. It is only an hour from Carthage/Joplin. We love flying out of here because it has the most accessible flights and is super easy to get in and out of!
The Joplin airport is super close to where we will be. The flights are more expensive, but this would also be the best in terms of convenience. It is up to you all but it serves as another option!
