 Departure from Home 

 Arrival to Nebraska 

It is best to fly directly into Kearney Regional Airport (airport code: EAR) from Denver International Airport in Denver, Colorado. If you fly directly into Kearney, UNK will arrange ground transportation for you from the Kearney airport to the campus at no cost. Travel to UNK via other Nebraska cities such as Lincoln or Omaha will result in additional expenses and time delays due to distance of travel to campus; possible overnight stays may be necessary to accommodate your flight time and bus schedule to travel to Kearney. Again, flying to Kearney Regional Airport (EAR) is the best solution.
