We're looking into it, but the FBOs with the highest fees (and those are the ones that matter, no one minds free of low fees) refuse to share their fee schedules or have them published. We have been talking to FBOs about this, and I kid you not, one said "I look at you, try to guess how much is...

Ah, yes, that's right. If you are staying two nights, and the first night only has the non-smoking king available, and the second night only has the two doubles handicapped room available, no online search is going to say there is a room available for two nights. The local hotel may move...

Sometimes cancellation policies are different. Many Priceline rates are pay-now non-refundable, and the AirNav rate may be flexible. Or sometimes Priceline may simply have a better rate. Or sometimes AirNav may have a better rate. There is no way to tell unless you compare rates and terms...

Thanks, folks. Quite a lot of interesting discussion. It seems that most of you caught on to the disadvantages of using those 3rd party aggregators (Expedia, Hotels.com, Priceline, etc.) Well, duh, you guys are the same pilot population that caught on to that when our provider moved to...

This makes perfect sense. You book the best hotel for your destination, not necessarily one near the airport. Unless the airport itself is the destination or just a stop along the way. Hi Jay, our resident hotelier. This only works at small hotels, right? Surely a front desk person at a...

Guys, can I ask you about hotels? AirNav used to have hotel reservations on the site. At some point, the partner we were using got bought out by Expedia, and started pushing only Expedia rates, which tended to be the "buy-now non-refundable" type that does not fit our lifestyles, and also did...

Not required by PoA rules. Jay is the exception here rather than the rule. Just look through this or any PoA thread and you will see that the vast majority of people use screen names here. Different forum, different rules. Right, murphey?

Interesting question. Queried the AirNav database, found 47 within 300 miles of Chicago. 47.5 C77 Poplar Grove Airport 92.8 KMTW Manitowoc County Airport 102.9 KAZO Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport...

Just saw this thread, and thought I'd pitch in with some clarifications First, let me thank Jay for starting this thread, and for his continued business. The subscriptions we have are for businesses (such as Jay's) to advertise. For pilots we have an AirBoss membership subscription, to help...

AirNav Guy is here now. Sorry guys, I do not check into POA all the time, and I had not noticed this thread. Frankly, on a personal level, I find what is happening at BAZ deplorable. It is never good when tenant and landlord compete, it always ends up badly for everyone involved, including...

Ah, that I can't speculate on. You'd have to ask them.

Your "home" FBO disappeared when their paid listing expired. At that point it goes to the end of the queue of FBOs to be worked for a free listing. Surely it is back by now, isn't it?

Not at all. T82 had a listing that Air BP was paying for. Air BP no longer pays it, and the FBO manager says he did not want to pay himself, too expensive. So we pulled down the Air BP paid listing, and will convert it to a free listing. However, we have over 400 Air BP listings that were...

Right. We try to get to them in 1-2 business days. NOT TRUE. Are you saying that from personal experience or hearsay?

Absolutely! :rolleyes::rolleyes: What our people love to do the most is harass others and destroy their work. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Please do rat them out. The easiest way to do that is to enter on AirNav the price with all taxes. Please remember to set the date to the date you visited (the form defaults to today's date, but if you purchased a few days ago please run the date backwards).

Done as requested.

We do have such a policy, and we do call every FBO. If you guys find one that is publishing prices without all taxes please report to us asap. Posting a comment about it is probably the best, our "comments police" people will read it and catch it and educate the FBO.

All taxes included. FBO has no choice.

No no no, don't do that. You run afoul of rule #1, "Comments must be representative of a recent actual or prospective customer experience". Scott's experience is no longer recent. However, if Scott wants to instruct us to strike out of the comment the part about the fuel price, we would be...
