Have to go there this Tuesday. Anyone been there lately? How did things go? Thanks for any replies in advance.

Was there about a month ago and then back in April. Both times--no problems.

The people in the FBO were extremely courteous and helpful. Landing fees weren't that bad - I think around $60 for a Citation 1. Fuel wasn't all that expensive either as I remember.

The hotel on the airport will come get you and take you to one of their restaurants. We ate in the sports bar. Food was pretty good.

Just remember to keep your transponder "ON" and be extremely vigilant when taxiing.

Have fun,

Ultraman

I agree with Ultra... No problems... I used to do it once a week... The ATIS will tell you whether or not to use your XPNDR while taxiing... If your picking up pax or dropping them off for flights out of DFW the FBO is very helpful with transportation... Plan on long taxi and sometimes long waits for take off.. Have pen and paper ready for taxi instructions, don't get the Y and Z bridges confused...You will usually land on one side of the airport and depart on the onther... GA is on the west side right off the Bravo (B) bridge, I think, which is on the south side of the field.. Have fun...

I used to go into DFW in a Lance and Navajo, went to "West Cargo". That was a LONG time ago. Do they still call it that?

Here is airport diagram of DFW

looks like 18-L or 36-R would be shortest taxi time.
