Question on Big Sur CA?

Travel Info
I live in Columbus Ohio and Im trying to find flights to Big Sur CA. But Im having a hard time finding the airport for/ around Big Sur. I was also wondering what the cheapest site would be to look into and also places to stay. Possible 4 people who are traveling with me. Any good sites to look into with photos and information?! Thanks!

There is no airport in Big Sur itself. I just went there this weekend. It is about a 2 hour drive from the San Francisco airport along beautiful coastal highway. When it comes to where to stay, if you're camping I recommend the Fernwood resort. The camping is right on the river!...But here's a link to lodging:

Sight seeing is a must, the Julia Pfiefer waterfall is the most beautiful sight in Big Sur. Its only about a 10 minute walk from the entrance to Julia Pfiefer State Park.

Try flying to San Jose, Southwest may fly there. The town is a bit remote down the Pacific Coast Highway. A b&B may be your best choice; also check hotels in Monterey, Carmel, and San Simeon by the Hearst Castle.
Your closest Major Airport would be San Jose about 120 miles north. A minor airport is Montery/Salinas about 30 miles north but this is commuter airport so you would probably have to fly into San Jose and then take a commuter into Monterey,

This is the link to the Chamber of Commerce that will give you a lot of information on Big Sur

~San Jose, CA airport.
~Monterrey and Carmel are pretty cities and they are nearby.
~Will need to rent a car to drive to Big Sur.
the closest commercial airport is Monterey, but it's very small. Otherwise San Jose would be the closest airport.
I just wrote about a road trip from L.A. to Big Sur, you could check it out for fun stuff to do while you're in the area (even if you don't have time to drive all the way up from L.A.). The coastline is truly stunning, so do spend at least part of your time driving Pacific Coast Highway. There aren't really "cheap" places to stay up in Big Sur but Deetjen's is somewhat reasonable and they have EXCELLENT food! And here's my article...
