| The closest major airport to Cape
Girardeau is Lambert-St. Louis International (STL).
Lambert is a hub for American Airlines, and flights are
available on all major US airlines. Next closest is
Memphis International Airport.
It is approximately 125 miles from the St.
Louis airport to Southeast Missouri State University in Cape
Girardeau, MO, and about 175 miles from Memphis. Either
way, travel is almost entirely on interstate highway 55.
A shuttle service is provided by
BART Transportation for
$60 dollars one way. However, be aware that there are
sometimes long waits for service. In any case, if you do
use BART, you need to make a reservation at least three days
before your arrival.
For many participants, it may be most
practical to rent a car in St. Louis and drive down to Cape
Girardeau; that way you have a car when you get to Cape
Girardeau, which is an advantage. It's an easy and
scenic drive.
