Michigan’s best five airports

Michigan is a midwestern state with a name that originated out of the original Ojibwe descriptions of the U.S. Great Lake. “Mishigamaa” is a term meaning “large lake” or “large water”. Michigan has the only two peninsulas in America and is bordered from the south by Indiana and Ohio, and at its east by Wisconsin, while sharing a border of water with Minnesota, Illinois, and Ontario, Canada. Five of the best airports serving Michigan can be seen below:
