No exception here, greeted warmly and assistance for ground transportation promptly arranged. I love the fact that our small company has a plane and pilot available- I may never fly commercial again.

Two pilots. We flew to Visalia to pick up and deliver an airplane. Having not eaten all day, we…read morestopped at the FBO to get directions for a food stop. We were told that the Holiday Inn was the closest place to eat, but they were closed. There were no options close enough to walk to. We inquired about a crew car. One of the linemen decided that simply telling us they didn't have a crew car wasn't informative enough, so he explained that having a crew car placed the FBO in a position of incurring liability if we had an accident. I didn't mind the lecture nearly as much as I minded the tone. Stuck with the vending machines, I asked if they could break a $20. I was told they could not, which seems shortsighted to me if you are an FBO with travelers coming through and your only food option is the vending machines. The other pilot had a few singles and deposited them into the vending machine. It registered the credit, but did not dispense any items when the button was pushed. The credit disappeared. He tried again with the same results. When he asked for a refund at the desk, he was told they couldn't give him a refund. We left hungry, but didn't miss that there were Del Taco bags of food on the linemen's desk. If these guys worked half as hard at solving problems as they did at dodging them, this review would be completely different.

Location: Fresno Airport Date: July 1, 2026…read moreService: Parking lot Recently came back from a QuikTrip and I parked my car and the one disabled parking spot that was available when I dropped it off. Apparently you're paying the same price for your car that you would for any other car I feel like if you're in a disabled parking you should not have to pay that price or especially if you have like a e-car or whatever but yeah. So apparently if you leave your car there for 5 days you're paying over $100 which is high. Mostly I was happy to get my car back and I checked out right away tip for you they do have a pay station that you have the option of paying it before you leave the gate which I usually do this way don't mess up so whatever I just put my ticket in and the gate open and I was able to get it out.

I was practicing my flying skills and decided to go eat there with a friend (who also happened to be my instructor). We landed on a well maintained runway and taxied over to the public parking area. When we got out of the plane, we were only a 2 minute walk from the café there. The café was a really neat place for those of us who love aviation. There are plenty of plane models, pictures and art work to keep the mind occupied while awaiting food. I ordered basic diner fare (chicken fingers) and my friend got a cheeseburger. The food was great and a fair price. Service was great and I could tell it was a local place filled with local people. Free advice: Look for those places and you won't be disappointed. After lunch, we strolled 2 minutes back out to the tarmac, jumped in the plane, and off we went. I was really happy and impressed with Porterville Airport, and I think I'll drop by there again next time I'm out flying around the valley enjoying the day. All the above being said, it was clear to me that the restaurant is a hidden jewel. We were the only plane parked outside, so I'm sure the majority of the folks eating there were not flying. I want to encourage you to stop in, since it can also be reached by driving your car there. Next time you are in Porterville, give the regular fast food a rest and try something better. Go to the airport and have a fun and yummy meal at a place packed with aviation and local history.

BFL has been at 8-12 flights a day since the America West-American Airlines merger. About half the flights are big jets and half smaller regional jets. Things to watch - 4 of the flights depart with 75 minutes 05:15 to 6:30 , so things bunch up. If checking bags, 75 minutes before flight time, carry on only 50 minutes. As few flights are spread out , the rest of the day it is not uncommon to find no airport personnel at the counter, and no way to summon them. When it's close to flight time, the gate agents go inside the building. The only sure way is to come to the counter 30 to 90 minutes before a flight departure. (Really BFL- use should have some type of call system so airport or airline personnel know someone needs attention. ) For drop off one gets 15 minutes free parking! Short and long term parking rates are much better than LAX . I've had good luck with car rental, as long as you reserved. Walks ins are hit or miss. Small planes get delayed more than large ones and last 2-3 years my on time experience is good. Prices to my destinations are closer to LAX than ever. Certainly markets and destinations work well, others do not. With less frequency than LAX , if there is a tight connection I will opt to book through LAX for more flexibility. Food and bev services are minimal.
