Flightstar is one of the best FBO's out there. The staff is always friendly and accommodating and the facilities are top notch. I highly recommend them

A student and I flew down to CMI in a bucket of bolts '79 Seminole, and didn't require any gas or services. Flightstar allowed us to relax for a few minutes before we were heading back (they have cappucino and biscotti). We had major problems getting the plane started up and line guys at Flighstar (Matt, Jeff, etc.) were extremely patient and helpful in charging the battery up, and getting us flying again. I highly recommend Flightstar to anyone looking for a halfway stop on a long trip!

Excellent and helpful FBO. I landed in some pretty bad conditions. It was -20C with howling wind. I was still marshaled to the ramp and I asked to be put in a hangar for the night, he also asked if I needed a hotel room. By the time I got out of the plane they had already hooked up the tow bar and when I walked into the lounge the van was there to take me to the hotel. Nice service!

On a weather diversion fuel stop, late July 2008, Flightstar gave me and my family excellent support. Line service was very competent and friendly, facilities were spotless and comfortable. Fuel prices were high, but that's Illinois. I would certainly stop here again, and I consider it a top level FBO for general aviation support.

My plane was on the tie-down. With approaching thunderstorms, Flightstar put the plane in a hangar. I appreciate their initiative. Nice FBO with a small pilot store, weather planning dept, and refreshments. Very friendly and helpful I will be back!

Be advised that Flightstar no longer sells approach plates or A/FDs. They have a limited stock of sectionals. They were out of Chicago and St Louis tonight (Yes, the charts that cover central Illinois).

I stopped in Champaign on a flight from Chicago to visit the U of I campus, and my experience could not have been better. The line guy was out before we even called ground on our way in, we had a wonderful crew car within a five minutes, and the $10 handling fee (piston single, waived with fuel purchase) was more than generous considering the comfort and luxury of the facility which is furnished with weather briefing stations and plenty of room to relax.

During my stay, CMI was in the midst of a week long icestorm. I called on the morning of our scheduled departure to request that the aircraft be put in a heated hangar to remove the ice coating. The CSR informed me that the aircraft was put in a hangar several days ago in anticipation of our scheduled departure! When we arrived at Flightstar, a shuttle brought us to the hangar where we loaded our bags and preflighted out of the weather. Great FBO, customer service is one of Flightstars highest priorities and it shows. I look forward to a return trip to CMI.

First class operation. Everyone and I mean everyone seem to go out of their way to make our stop super nice. Even a new crew car...

Stopped in for fuel on the way to Oshkosh. Very nice facilities with pleasant staff. An all-around nice stop for a cross-country journey to AirVenture.

I landed on Easter one of the coldest days in April before I could ask they had my car at my plane warmed and ready to go. When I returned a couple of days later my plane was not on the ramp, there was some strong winds and heavy rain on the previous day and they took the liberty to place it safely inside a hangar. Outstanding service, super friendly staff AA++

I've flown into Champaign many times, for lunch and just a stop over. The ground crews are very friendly and the facilities are simply amazing. One of the best FBO's I've been to. They do charge a $15 handling fee, but the fuel is also quit expensive so it's a trade off. Very nice crew facilities, very nice store, courtesy cars are clean and very nice. A+

I agree with previous comments that the service at Flightstar is first rate. We landed in low instrument conditions in a cold drizzle. Immediately met by two linemen, one carrying two umbrellas. Similarly upon leaving we were escorted to the plane so that we could preflight and board and give our umbrellas back to them. Yes, the fuel price is high. But they really do take care of you.

This may be the nicest FBO I have been to while flying general aviation. Yes, their fuel is pretty pricey. But, if you want A-1 accommodations, this is the place to go. On top of excellent pilot facilities, they offered a brand new Dodge Magnum to use as a crew car. I will be back.
