How do I get from Phoenix AZ, to Great Bend KS? -

I m wondering how to travel to Great Bend, Kansas from Phoenix, Arizona. Can I take a plane there or does a train pass through or a bus? How much would it cost?

This place is in the sticks. I did my best for you though. Without driving yourself the best way to get you close is to take a Greyhound bus to Salina and then either rent a car or have someone pick you up. Salina is about 2 hours away (96 miles) from Great Bend. If you book on line the Greyhound ticket price one-way is $175.95 and will take about 34 hours. They do have a scheduled stop at a Burger King in Gallup, NM.The only thing close if you go by train is Dodge City, but you have to catch that out of Flagstaff and you will still be the same distance from Great Bend as the bus was. The price is $160. but the travel time is only 17 hours.You can check the airlines, but it will cost for a rental car because the closest larger airports are 3-4 hours away.Each site asked for a travel date so I plugged in Dec.18, 2009.Checkout the sites.http://www.greyhound.com/home/ticketcent��http://tickets.amtrak.com/itd/amtrakGood luck with your travels.
