I always make an effort to travel the most economical way for the group or conference. If there is a baggage charge on the airline that will be included in the fees.

The map locates me...

For distances less than a six hour drive I am willing to drive rather than fly if mileage will save costs.

From Columbia via Delta--no ground transport or parking fees.

or from Kansas City or St. Louis multiple airlines are available. The airports are approximately 2 hours away so there is also a charge for ground shuttle or mileage and parking.
