Flew into OXB in our club C172 aircraft with a fellow club member on 11/29. The airport was not busy when we arrived in the late afternoon. The parking spots on the ramp have ropes to tie down your aircraft. Had to pay a small ramp fee ($6.00) in addition to the fuel that we purchased. We only had to pay $20.00 for a rental car that we used to drive around Ocean City. We were in the town for only several hours and almost everything in the town was closed when we arrived. I plan on returning here in the spring or summer.

Flew in on 10/4/09. Friendly folks at the FBO. Easy car rental. $12.00 overnight a little steep for a single, particularly after taking a load of fuel. The 100LL price was good at the self-service.

Flew in with 3 of my golfing buddies for a round of golf at nearby Eagles Landing Course. The staff at OXB was able to load us up into their van and take us over to the course. Daily parking fee was only $6. Only wish that I had more empty space in the fuel tanks so I could have taken advantage of their great fuel prices. We will most definitely return!

Flew in 9/25/09 for the weekend. Got there after dark, with a gusty x-wind that the ASOS did not very accurately report. Fortunately, Greg was landing ahead of me and gave me better runway advice and a report of the landing conditions. He was also very helpful and gave us a ride into town after we landed. Thank you very much Greg!

Nice airport and terminal facility, with reasonable self-serve and truck fuel and friendly folks. Getting into town can be pricey--about $12 for a cab each way to the nearest part of town. Going further into town make it cheaper to rent a car than pay the cab both ways. Rental location at the terminal does a good job.

After landing, George the airport manager came to the plane with a van took us to a local restaurant then picked us up. All the staff was nice, could not be more helpful. A definite trip back is in order!!!

Flew in over the Labor Day holiday. Busy airport with plenty of parking (6.00). Must wait about 15min for a cab once called either way so be ready. Ride to the beach about 11.00 ea way. Here's a surprise! You can flag a taxi on the main road but they can't pull over w/o getting in trouble. They must turn off at the next intersection and wait for you to walk back. So, stand near a cross street or you will just keep walking thinking these people are so busy they never stop.

No one came out to show me where to park. Two FBO guys leaning on their golf cart did nothing to help, but they leapt into action when Cirrus came in behind me. Desk person took forever to process a simple fuel order because they were typing everything into the CC terminal manually and had it misconfigured for credits. Clue: get a computer that does that automatically, prints out my invoice and gets me on my way in 2-3 minutes rather than 20. If you're in a hurry, avoid dealing with the FBO if at all possible. Use the self-serve pumps located at the northwest side of the ramp, feel free to use the public facilities in the terminal, and make your own arrangements for transportation.

Flew in for the first time to look at an airplane for sale. The lineman, John, couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. Personal service with a smile. This was probably my best experience at an airport. I regularly fly in to another nearby airport for convenience, but if OXB were closer to my usual destination, I would choose to land there in a heartbeat.

Flew in for the afternoon on 6/27/09. Nice facilities, nice people. I'll call ahead for a cab or a car next time, we waited 30 min. I wish more general aviation airports could support as many businesses as this on (skydiving, charter, flight school, sightseeing).

Stopped at Ocean City for fuel and lunch flying south from New Hampshire. Despite a large fuel purchase was charged "tie down" fee for a one-hour lunch stop.

Love the cheap self-service fuel! Don't use the taxi's they list in the AOPA guide, use the one the FBO recommends. Was there 6/28, good facility, friendly staff. Waited an hour for my taxi.

Flying home from Florida stopped for fuel and food, no food at airport but $ dollar cab ride and tons of seafood places, ask at the desk. They are very friendly and will help with food and taxi. Ocean City is always a nice destination as well.

Flew into Ocean City for a weekend stay with some friends and when our ride to the condo was delayed the staff went out of their was to arranged for us to stay in the warm lobby instead of waiting outside in the cold. This personal service is what makes this FBO a great place to visit. Thanks so much!!

Great Day to be in Ocean City, MD. Flew to KOXB with the Mercer Flying Club (N87-Trenton/Robbinsville) on our monthly flyout. The staff at KOXB was wonderful and very helpful. They allowed our group to use their 12-passenger van for the day for only $40. We will definitely keep this destination on our calendar for the future. Landing fee $6 for a single. Definitely will be back!!!

Flew in for a Saturday quick get-away. The staff was excellent. The attendant at the desk (Norra?) was very welcoming and helpful for us to find a great seafood place. It's a pleasure to find nice folks like this when you come into a strange airport for the first time. We will return and recommend Ocean City to everyone.

We were weathered in by very high winds and received first class service at Ocean City. The staff was very friendly and helpful, understood the needs of our Cessna 195, a vintage plane (and the needs of a vintage pilot!)

Nice GA airport. Parking fee is steep- $12 per day. If you stay more than three nights, get the weekly rate- $30. For taxi service to the beach, I highly recommend About Town Taxi: 410-208-9909. They have clean vehicles and friendly, safe drivers.

I've been in and out of Ocean City airport frequently this Summer. The line staff is friendly, fuel prices have remained reasonable, (considering) and ground transportation has been available without a hitch even on busy weekends.

Flew into Ocean City last week, great experience. Front desk staff was very friendly and offered to drive my father and I to the local golf course. We called after our round and picked us up as well! We will definitely be back!

Great experience flying to OXB on 5/18 for a day trip. Rented a car for the day from Express Rental, they were very helpful including 2 carseats for the young children. About a 10 minute drive to Assateague state park with great beaches, concession stand, and wild horses. Drove back to town for lunch, returned the car, and we were on our way. We were impressed at how GA- and family- friendly the airport staff was!

Excellent experience flying into OXB--3/21-23. Fuel prices as advertised and with the SS pump busy OXB line folks filled our aircraft at the SS price! Wow, no other FBO has ever done that before. Rental cars available through Enterprise or Express.

I fly down to OXB at least a couple of times a year for the afternoon, usually spur-of-the-moment, to walk the boardwalk and get me some Thrasher's Fries & Fisher's Corn. Joy and the others at the desk always seem friendly and happy to see me, but they really did a nice job yesterday. In the FBO after another impromptu flight down, they informed me that the bridge to the downtown area was being replaced and a cab ride (usually around $12) would be prohibitively expensive the long way around. They quickly organized a rental car for me and within a few minutes, we were on our way with detailed detour directions and after-hours return instructions. Not much open on the boards this time of year, but we don't mind so much; Boardwalk Joe's warmed us up with some tasty gyros and homemade stromboli. Stop by this friendly little eatery at 4th St. If you get a chance; they were really nice as well. Thanks for a great little afternoon vacation from winter, OC and OXB!

AirNav users. Please be advised that the 24-hour self-fueler for AVGAS at OXB is again "open" effective 9-7-07. Thanks for your patience during the re-construction of the ramp.

AirNav readers. Please be aware that effective 8-13-07, the 24-hour self-fueler for AVGAS is out of service. This is due to the on-going construction on the ramp at OXB. It should be available again on or about 9-1-07. If you need after hours fuel, please call 410-213-2471 in advance. Thanks.

THE TERMINAL RAMP IS OPEN! We arrived Saturday Aug 11th in the morning and the recently paved ramp was a busy place. As always great service on the ramp and in the office. Our Archer II was fueled and ready to go Sunday for our late afternoon departure. You know you visit there often when the folks working the desk remember you from your previous weekend visit. THANKS!! N28679

We've been visiting OXB at least once yearly for some time now, and have always enjoyed the fine service and friendliness of both the terminal staff and Don who operates Express Rent-A-Car. The current ramp construction constitutes a minor inconvenience, but they provide transportation to and from the terminal via golf cart. Can't understand the (few) negative comments, as we've always had good experiences there even in November. Taxi fares are posted on the fence on the west side of the terminal, but we've always rented a car.

Easy common-traffic airport. I have family that lives north of Ocean City, so I have been a regular customer for years. This past weekend seemed to be the busiest I have seen the ramp, considering the construction, however there were plenty of tie-downs available north of the SS pump. Self serve fuel is no problem to anyone familiar with conventional credit card swipe machine, and the price is inexpensive (relatively speaking, of course), considering OXB is a "beach/resort airport", and that OXB operating overhead/expenses are higher than neighboring Cambridge or Ridgley.

Yes, ongoing construction at the terminal ramp. OXB provided a golf cart shuttle from the parking area, out near the Hangars, back to the terminal. GREAT SERVICE! VERY FRIENDLY people. $11 cab rides to the beach this go round and as always a great time on the boards.

All AirNav readers. Please be aware that there is a major construction project on-going at OXB on the ramp. Parking will be somewhat limited during this reconstruction period.

I have flown in and out of KOXB for the past 30 years and believe it is one of the most convenient and pilot friendly FBO's in the Mid Atlantic coastal region. When considering any flying destination, a visit to AirNav and a call ahead to the field/FBO, usually eliminates most of the concerns voiced in earlier comments regarding transportation, accommodations, unusual requests, etc. The staff there today has always been responsive to my requests, courteous to my passengers and me and demonstrated a willingness to go beyond the call of duty when asked. Great fuel prices, a beautiful resort town down the street, and the best seafood anywhere. Don't pass up this gem.

We flew into OXB Saturday, April 21st to take advantage of the great weekend weather. The staff at OXB was great to deal with. Ace taxi was ready and waiting out front of the terminal, so the four of us piled in and $12 later we were walking the boards. The driver gave us his card for a return trip call and we met just off the boardwalk. Again good service. N28679

On 4/12/07, I flew into OXB at 17:15. I was quite concerned based on the previous posts. It was off-season and I was coming in after hours. My fears were running high. However, the FBO was open and waiting. Although the Xpress Car Rental was closed, I called their 800 number and they still had my car and a way for me to get into it. My plane was filled and ready to go the next afternoon when I left. This was a great FBO stop. I am glad that I stopped here instead of SBY which would have giving me a 30 minute drive. Maybe my experience was good because I had called ahead (about a week before hand) and I was on an IFR plan. However, I will be very happy to stop here the next time I go to Ocean City.

After reading a few of the recent comments here, I had to add my own thoughts. I fly into OXB regularly. More so in the summer of course. I agree that the mood in the past few years has become less then helpful. However, I must point out that during last summer, they had some incredible people there. Although new employees, they were helpful, courteous, well spoken, AND they knew aviation! (One in particular even watched over my daughter when I was injured). It was delightful to stop there. However, as in recent years, after the season is over, these good people leave and then we are left with the usual (mostly) miserable folks. That would be OK, but recent years have shown that those good people from summer don't come back. What a shame, as this past years crew had some exceptional people that I will miss. Makes you wonder what goes on behind the curtain. -Darlene Roth

Flew in to OXB yesterday and have to be honest, the service was just mediocre. Not at all how I remembered it. No line service to assist me with my CJ and once we got inside the whole airport was out of service. The staff was friendly, but there was really one lady running the whole operation. We used Ace Taxi and the fair was 10 bucks just to literally go one block down the road. What I remembered as a wonderful beach town is now slowly deteriorating. Will give it one more try when the summer rolls around, if there is no improvement, I guess I'll need to find another nice beach spot.

I have to agree with B Beck. I've also been flying into OXB for years. Friendly staff, as usual. Great fuel prices! Unfortunately, the last several years the airport "mood" seems kinda' depressing. The airport management has removed the lounge TV and banned food from the first floor of the building. It does seem like management is trying to chase away general aviation. The whole thing struck me as kinda' strange compared to the average GA airport. I guess this is another example of inexperienced management trying to ruin a perfectly fine general aviation airport.

I have been flying into Ocean City, MD for the past twelve years. The comment below caused me to add my own comment. Apparently, the pilot below had a bad experience but in all the years I have flown in, I have always enjoyed the highest levels of service from the staff. Fuel is always among the lowest prices in the northeast. If you fly in and need a cab, call Alvin at Ace Taxi. He is the best. He is usually at the airport. The rental cars at the airport are extremely convenient and reasonably priced. This airport, in my opinion, could not be more GA friendly.
