You will be hard pressed to find another flight school that works so hard to ensure your dreams become reality. They individually curtail instruction to fit your learning style and make it fun all at the same time. The flight instructors and staff are professional, personable, and truly take a vested interest in their students aspirations. The aircraft are well maintained. The flight school is run in a comfortable, professional, and efficient manner. I HIGHLY recommend this flight school!!!

Small, easy, no frills. SLO airport, SBP, whenever possible when it makes sense…read more * $25 parking for 4 lots, $cheaper for an off-airport a half-block away * 3 walk-up single lines for the 3 airlines that fly: United, American, Alaska. * Simple and fast TSA * Outside courtyard with Barrelhouse Brews and live entertainment, sometimes. * Easy in/out flights * 1 baggage claim area The issues I have are mainly that there are not enough direct flights. You can fly direct to: * Los Angeles, CA * San Francisco, CA * San Diego, CA * Las Vegas, NV (seasonal service) * Phoenix, AZ * Dallas/Ft.

Small airport that puts you front and center into the action of the Central Coast…read more It was my first experience here and it's very hustle and bustle for such a small place, but I didn't feel rushed at all...maybe that's part of the feel. When we arrived we deplaned into the jetway and walked through the small waiting area to baggage claim. Similarly, up in our return, we checked our bags and walked to the same small waiting area with six gates. The team at American were super friendly. When the kiosks didn't work, they called us right up and checked our bags and got us our hard copy boarding passes. The vibe was very chill and calming. The waiting area has enough seats a small table charging station, and a small marketplace for snacks. I don't think you will be waiting here too long. If you are early, you might want to take advantage of the fresh air, the airport has a reasonable outdoor space to hangout, and there's a small bar out there. It was a positive experience and a great welcome (and farewell) to the Central Coast.

I quite literally would rather stay home than book a flight on American Airlines. I have flown this…read moreairline maybe 5 times (only because it was the only option to get home) and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. there has been a problem. Most memorably, I got stuck in the Denver airport overnight because American Airlines kept delaying my flight (THAT WAS ORIGINALLY AT 10 AM) and at the last second (around 11 pm) they CANCELLED it. Other times, my bags have been lost, connections have been missed, and tears have been shed. Currently, I am sitting in the SLO airport at 6 am because American Airlines does not know how to run a business and constantly has delays due to maintenance and other issues that other airlines seem to manage much better. This wouldn't be such an issue, but almost every person flying out of SLO has a connecting flight because this is such a small airport, so delays quite literally ruin travel plans. If you genuinely have any other option... TAKE IT. I have spent so much money fixing American Airlines' mistakes that they probably owe me more than the down payment on my mortgage. Do not fly American, ESPECIALLY if you want to arrive to your destination on time or feel any joy at all.

Dallas was our layover and of course our flight out of San Luis Obispo was delayed for literally no reason. Mind you I'm traveling with a toddler, wife and infant baby. We run to connecting flight in Dallas and the bitch just stares at me who works for AA and said sorry gates closed. I said there is still 15 minutes before flight leaves and there were 12 other people from my flight who missed same connecting flight. Fuck you American Airlines you shitty ass people who did me and my family wrong. Never again will you get my business American Airlines offered me no compensation nothing

Don't buy the low score for Alaska out of SLO, but to each their own. For a small college town,…read moreAlaska has done a great job every time I use the airport. It's a small airport, it's NEVER crowded. Guess we each have our own definition of what that is, but spending many years at LAX and SFO, SLO (or SBP) is a breath of fresh air when it comes to flying. Alaska makes check in quick and simple, especially if you check in online, receiving your seat assignment. The kiosks allow you tag your bags and then drop your bags at the counter. The front end agents have been wonderful, friendly and helpful when it has come to checking in. Being a small airport you will usually see these agents at the gate, once you clear the security checkpoint. TSA.... ugh, we all loath going through this dance, the ID, the shoes, the laptops, the water, the groping. Yet, lines aren't too terribly bad (when I've flown), having TSA-Pre and Clear is a nice thing when you do see a line, but even then, getting through security usually happens quickly. With all the negative attention on TSA, have yet to have any delay or issue at the checkpoint. There is a cafe, serving a variety of coffee, some food and a small bar at the gate area. This area can get crowded but in my opinion, the agents do a good job making sure you are in the right gate area for your flight. I've had a good experience dropping off and picking up my steps-on, who is autistic. The agents on both ends have ben very helpful, allowing him to board early, to find his seat and get situated. They have also gone so far to make sure he was met in San Diego, when he was trying to connect with his dad. Thought that went above and beyond, especially these days. I am very happy with Alaska Airlines, have been since I have started flying with them in 2021. If I don't need to, I will not fly another airline. Thank you for what you all do, I've been there, did 13 years for a major airline based out of Chicago. I know how challenging it can be.

Learned to fly with Jamaica Hines at Pacific Sky Aviation was honestly the best experience I…read morecould've asked for. She was my flight instructor while I worked toward my Private Pilot License, and I wouldn't have been able to do it without her. Jamaica is super reliable and always made me feel comfortable and confident in the plane. She is also great with scheduling and working with your timeline. She has a great way of explaining things that actually makes sense, and she always had my back when I needed extra practice or reassurance. I could tell she really cared about me succeeding, not just getting me through the lessons. Thanks to her, I was able to achieve my dream of becoming a pilot, and she helped me realize that I wanted to get my airframe and power plant license that I am now working at a shop for. I'm so grateful I got to learn from her. If you're thinking about flight training, I 100% recommend Pacific Sky Aviation and especially flying with Jamaica!
