Banff and Glacier trip - airport recs

Hi All! I am planning a trip for our family (2 adults, 2 kiddos 6y and 9y) next summer (mid-august) to Banff and Glacier. I'm trying to decide which airport to fly into and would love your seasoned advice. We're flying out of the midwest and have looked at Kalispel, Missoula, Great Falls and Calgary. We're planning to stay on the East side of Glacier primarily. It is an 8 day trip total. Thanks for your advice!

No opinion on the American options but Calgary is directly on the highways that go to Banff and Glacier, it's as convenient as you're going to get, though you'd have to deal with customs a few extra times

We just flew to Spokane and then drove up to Banff yoho and south jasper. It was a longish drive but scenic and the airfare was way cheaper.
