Arriving to the airport is the first step to your experience in Branson. If you have not made airport pick-up arrangements with your employer, you will need to plan for transportation from the airport to your employer or housing address. The preferred airport is the Springfield National Airport (SGF). Note that if using the SGF airport, a 45-minute shuttle or taxi to Branson will be necessary.

If you choose to travel to an airport other than SGF, plan to spend significant time traveling by bus to Branson. Most often a Greyhound bus terminal will not be located at an airport; therefore, it will be necessary to first travel from an airport to the nearest Greyhound bus station. When using this travel method, please expect that there will be a very limited bus schedule between the airport you choose and Branson. For example, the bus may only operate one time per day, or less. We recommend the SGF as your best airport arrival option. 

Ground Transportation: *The airport does not offer scheduled shuttle service between Springfield and Branson.

​

Take advantage of convenient ride sharing services and be on your way to your host address using Uber and Lyft. Both services operate in the Branson area and are partners with the Springfield/Branson National Airport (SGF). 

Branson also has taxi services available: The Branson Shuttle and Ryde With US (more information below). Whether you need a ride from the airport or want to cruise around town, these safe taxi services are great options.
