Missouri travel note

New Northwest Airlink service to Columbia Regional Airport (COU)

In September, Northwest Airlink commenced three flights per day between the Columbia Regional Airport, about 15 minutes from campus, and Memphis, a hub for Northwest Airlines. With fares subsidized, if you can board a non-stop flight to Memphis, connecting to Columbia directly may be the most convenient travel option. FLIGHT/AIRPORT DETAILS
