What is wrong with a class B airport? Some are very GA friendly -- like Kansas City Intl.
That's because MCI has about as much traffic as a lot of class C airports, but really with a few exceptions just about all the class B's aren't all that bad towards GA. Some just charge exhorborant landing and ramp fees to discourage most GA. I landed at IAH which is about 3 times busier than MCI and they treated me quite nicely. They just asked me to keep my speed up so I gave them 125kts until I turned a short base and I was off at the first taxiway. Flying in VFR they were able to sequence me in quite nicely and nobody was delayed any more than they would have been with a fast jet (actually probably a lot less). The FBO didn't charge me any fees since I bought gas there even though I stayed for 4 days. I've had class nothing airports treat me a lot worse.
