I looked into flying into Bentonville, but it was $400+ per person each way and that ain't happening.

So, considering price and proximity, what's the best option?

Would be flying up the evening before Thanksgiving (wednesday, 11/21 and returning Saturday after the same, Saturday, 11/24).

Thanks

Option B. You could fly to Tulsa and make the 2 hour drive over from there.

It's really expensive flying into and out of XNA. Last season we went ahead and drove to Baton Rouge.

You could also try fort smith regional airport if you wanted to just compare prices.

Orbitz has flughts for like $450 roudntrip, and Travelocity had that price each way. My guess is one of them has it listed wrong.

XNA or fly in to Tulsa and drive just over an hour or so. Little Rock and drive 3 hours. Your call.

$450 round trip sounds right.

The cheapest way to fly to NWA is to package yourself up in a cardboard box with enough supplies for a couple days and UPS yourself. You'll fly into the Springdale airport, just take a cab to a car rental place because if you walk you'll be in the Marshalleese and Hispanic neighborhoods.

If you want to pay less for increased hassle, anywhere other than XNA.

If you want an airport that gets you where you need to be, with minimal fuss and better than usual airport crap to deal with, XNA is the ticket.

XNA is almost like an express checkout lane of an airport. I've never shown up more than 20 minutes early for a flight and have never had any hassles. United pilots are good about making up time in the air too.

Just fly into XNA and save the hassle. Anywhere else and you have an 1-3 hr drive. It won't be that drastic of a difference.

Thousands of them brah. The largest expat population outside of the Islands is in Springdale, AR.

Tyson's, chicken plants, chicken/turkey farms, big contstruction boom at the time = Marshalleese like a MF'r.
