i am flying into Dallas one evening next month and need to know what field and FBO do you guys recommend that will be the cheapest, best for transportation for a few hours, and treats single engine GA guys as well as they would a jet. Love field is near where i am going, but didnt know if it would be too hectic or if they would treat me right being a little guy.

Thanks!
 
Any FBO at Love Field will treat you like a king......but you'll pay for it! Might consider Dallas Executive if you wanna save a few bucks. If you're set on Love Field, definitely choose Business Jet Center for the best service.
 
Agree with Jeff on Executive, I would recommend Jet Center of Dallas, RV friendly folks and they may be able to tuck you in one of their hangers. KRBD

I've flown over/around Love many times but got no desire to mix it up with a bunch of 737's ;)
 
Dallas Executive, excellent airport.
Love = $ cha ching!
I have been to both many times and I now stay away from Love.
 
Where are you going? It matters a lot if you're only there for a few hours.

As others have said, DAL is $$$ but good service. Same is true for ADS, lots of good food near there too.

RBD is cheaper, still good service, but south of downtown.

You get all kinds of approach speeds at DAL and ADS. I try and play well with others and the controllers are used to our slow speeds (45-50kt over the fence) and always sequence us well. My favorite controller even scolded a BE56 driver who didn't want to slow down - she told them to reduce speed, telling them they had a 50kt overtake on me (I was already 115kt on a long final, almost in the yellow). When they objected to slowing, she told them to be ready for a go-around. Never heard anything else from them :)

So don't fear the traffic at DAL or ADS. The controllers don't want you to crash - too much paperwork!
