Default Light single into KBOS, KPVD, or KIAD?

Looks like this Friday I may be picking up a family member on the way
to KHYA. I'll be leaving from KTTA in NC and we're trying to decide
which airport would be better to pick up a pax at in a C172. The
choices are KBOS, KPVD, or KIAD (she's in Syracuse and will have to
fly commercial to one of those airports). Airnav shows high landing/
ramp fees and expensive FBO's at all of them. KBOS looks like the
worst. Anyone have any experience or recommendations for either of
those airports? TIA.


I flew from Minneapolis to Providence in an SR22 last June. The fees
at the FBO weren't too high but I did buy fuel at the FBO. I was not
impressed with the facilities compared to other airports, but if you
don't need the facilities it will work. The terminal is on the other
side of the airport from the FBO, but it should not be difficult to
get from the terminal to the FBO. I suspect that someone at the FBO
would be willing to drive you over there to pick up your passenger.
