Getting to Branson, MO

[Jaylie]

I’m a DVC member and I’m planning a combination trip this summer (Branson/WDW) with my sister who lives in NW Arkansas. I live near Boston. We thought we’d spend a few days in Branson then fly to WDW. Two questions ... I’m not sure how to get to Branson from Boston (maybe Kansas City, MO, or St. Louis, MO). Next, what would be the best way of getting from Branson to Orlando? Thanks for any help!

Try flying into/out of Springfield, MO.

Try flying into/out of Springfield, MO.

Springfield, MO Airport is about 50 miles from Branson, so certainly doable. American, United, and Delta are all possible options from Boston, making connection in one of these carriers hubs like Dallas(?), Chicago, Atlanta, or Denver (?), perhaps others. The final leg will likely be on one of these carriers’ branded regional partners (think United Express). Dallas or Denver seem out of the way to me but they are major hubs for American and United, respectively.

United does have connecting flights out of Springfield (SGF) and Northwest Arkansas (XNA). To go to Disney from Branson, Allegiant Air flies out of both of those airports to Sanford (SFB), which is about an hour from Disney World. Allegiant has limited days when flights are available, but they are nonstop flights at great prices! Also, if you're looking at flying out of a larger city, Tulsa is closer then Kansas City or St. Louis.
