Doubt in getting to south bend, Indiana? By air?

Question

I'm making an international travel and want to arrive to the airport closest to South Bend with only a single stop from my country of origin, no 2 stops as i have too much luggage. So South BEnd airport is ruled out.

Could you please suggest which airport is closest to South Bend by road?

O' Hare airport or some other airport from Ohio, Michigan maybe?

Please help me, thank you!

Answer 1

The closest airport to South Bend that would likely meet your criteria of a single stop would be Chicago O'Hare airport, which is slightly more than 100 miles away.  The next closest would be Detroit Metropolitan Airport, which is about 200 miles away from South Bend, and Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport, which is about 250 miles away.

Answer 2

O'hare is the only major airport with many international destinations.

There is a direct train (South Shore line) from Chicago to South Bend.
