I absolutely concur that if you have to go to SMO park at American Flyers – The Go Car Rental company based at Atlantic actually brings me a rental car across the field to American Flyers.

Always keep in mind there are curfews at SMO for early departures and late landings!

Santa Monica is $50 at American Flyers. I park there, and call ahead for rental car or cab. Don't go to Atlantic unless you want to pay Gulfstream prices. I will try Burbank next time, but many times have to go to Marina Del Rey, which is only 8 miles from SMO.

We are based at Oxnard KOXR, which is about 1hr - 1:10 from downtown LA. However, there is very little traffic at our airport, It has an ILS, and fuel is relatively inexpensive. If you don't mind the drive (it's beautiful down the PCH) through Malibu, I would suggest looking into it. We also have a couple extra hangers, so maybe we could work something out with you keeping your plane there, depending on your timeframe.

I fly into LA often and Burbank Millionaire is preferred over VNY or SMO. No ramp fee or landing fee and fair fuel prices. They are also MU2 educated. Hawthorne KHHR is convenient but expensive fuel and they are not prone to making deals even with reoccurring customers.

Both smo and vny are quite expensive for LA area, bur is a great one with good fuel prices and minimal fees...you have to watch the fees in the LA basin. Last stop by vny was $175 ramp fee waived if I bought a bunch of fuel at $7/gal! For SF definitely oak.

For those of you that regularly operate in CA ...
In the near future, I have business meetings scheduled in downtown LA, downtown San Francisco, and downtown Berkley ...
Any suggestions as to which general aviation airports that I should use ... Considering ease of IFR operations, travel to downtown, cost of fuel, etc ???
Thanks ...
