Hi My son is considering attending the Galloup Guitarmaking School in Big Rapids. Airports within driving distance of us are Champaign, IL (CMI), Indianapolis, IN, and St. Louis, MO. Does this airport have flights arriving from/departing to any of these airports? I would like to fly him up there for the 6 month training program, then fly him back home.

Would appreciate any info you have to offer, as I have been totally unable to find anything on my own. Maybe I should be looking at flights to Grand Rapids, not Big Rapids, and he would somehow have to find transportation the rest of the way. Any suggestions on that would be greatly appreciated, if there are no flights connecting to any of the above airports.

Thank you!
