AUS and ELP are both GA Friendly.

In Austin, if you want services the choices are
really AUS, GTU, HYI and maybe T74. There
are GA airports with fuel, but not much in the
way of FBO or services.

There is a Hilton on the north end of AUS, but
it will be a $20 cab ride from the south end of the
airport, although Signature or Trajen will likey
give you a ride. They also have crew cars but
not sure of the overnight provisions. Rental cars
are on the field. There are also many hotel choices
along 71 west from the airport going toward I-35.

GTU is north of Georgetown and there is a rental
card agency that serves the area. More limited selection
of hotels around Georgetown, but if you venture 15 miles
south down I-35 to Round Rock, there are tons of hotel
choices.

There is a hotel adjacent to and in walking distance of the
Taylor, TX airport, T74, and also a fast food restuant there,
but Taylor is a small town so I'm not sure about taxi and or
rental cars.

Not sure of the hotel choices or quality in the San Marcos
area around HYI.

Fuel will be more expensive at AUS than at other airports in
the area.

There is also a very nice hotel on the field at T82
Gillespie County (T82) FREDERICKSBURG, TX
and many, many bed and breakfast lodges there also.
That is 30 minutes west of the Austin area.

Hopfully someone from El Paso will speak up, but it has always
be very GA friendy to me. There is a hotel within walking distance
and the FBO also offered a ride and pickup. Also restaurants
next to the hotel.

I am planning a flight from Los Angeles to New Orleans for some much
needed R&R
during holidays. My wife does not like to fly more than two 4-hour legs a
day,
so my plan is to fly from EMT to ELP for fuel & lunch than to AUS
overnight.
Next morning we continue to NEW. For return trip, we will stop at AUS for
fuel
& lunch and ELP overnight. However, both AUS & ELP are big airports that
I
have never been to. Are they GA friendly? Can you recommend some GA
friendly
airports in their areas for overnight stop? Thanks.
