Luray Caverns Airport

at Luray Caverns Airport

From Les Gawlik on 21-Oct-2009

Stopped by a few weeks ago. The FBO was on Unicom very promptly, and directed me to parking. Ken met at the plane with his van, and took us to the caverns, which is very close by. He gave met a slip of paper which had his phone number and brief instructions to get a ride back. When I called, Karen was there promptly to pick us up. Because they weren't too busy, Karen was able to give us a ride to the steakhouse mentioned in other posts. After we finished, she came and took us back to the airport. The plane was fueled as I requested, and I was able to pay by credit card in the van -- I never got to see the inside of the FBO. Everyone was very courteous and prompt. It made for an easy and pleasant day trip.

Great airport, with super friendly and helpful folks. Family flew in for the day to visit the Luray Caverns. I spoke with the FBO via Unicom and the van was ready to shuttle us over to the caverns before I could get the plane tied down. If I were to go again, I'd do it on a weekday or get there really early. Luray Caverns were a zoo. Way too many tourists. The crowds were really bad. The Caverns were neat to see, the kids really liked it, but the crowds really brought the fun factor down.

Beautiful airport, caverns nearby, staff went out of their way to help us including driving us to accommodations. Ken, the airport mgr is a real peach as is Bob. Situated in the spectacular Shenandoah Valley. Approaching from the east (SFRA - DC area) should not scare anyone. We flew into and out of Dulles without a hitch.

We recently stopped in the have dinner at Dan's Steakhouse in Luray after getting a gift certificate at Restaurant.Com. The airport was very friendly and went out of their way for us. We found Dan's Steakhouse, very reasonable and the Steak was excellent!!! Highly recommended.

What a treat landing here. We were going from Grand Strand in SC (CRE) to Royalton (9G5) in Western NY and stopped here for fuel. Got the nicest welcome and an offer to drive us into town for food. Dropped a couple of other people off at the caverns and took us to a great deli downtown and then picked up us an hour later. Would come here anytime and we know we'll be back.

Went back a little while ago and the service was great! I guess the lineman was just having a bad day the first time I went. The caverns were really great, highly recommended. The food at the caverns is okay. It will keep you satisfied for the flight home. Lovely airport and nice staff. I will be back.

Very nice airport! Was told where to park and immediately asked if I needed any services. I only had about 15 mins of stopping time so I asked the shuttle driver, since he was about to leave for the caverns, if I could just sit in the van for the ride to the cavers (to drop some people off) and then ride back to the airport. He said no. I asked why when he did not give me a reason, and he said "cuz the van's full." No problem, I headed back out to my plane to watch some approaches, and as I see a family of 4 get in the van and drive off, I notice a whole back row empty! I don't know if he said "no" to the FREE van ride because I was 16, or if he really was going to pick up some more people. It was odd though, and annoying. Other than that, a real fun airport to fly to, and I'll be back to get that ride and check out the caverns some day.

Great airport! We had a good time checking out the caverns and the staff at the airport was amazingly friendly. They were very quick to give us a ride to, and from the caverns. I will be back soon.
 

From Joe Stubblefield on 16-Jul-2008

One of my favorite places to go. Some of the nicest folks you will meet, and not just at the airport. They will haul you the short distance into town for a meal or to the Luray Caverns. Great service, great views, one of the best prices on fuel around too. The food in town is great too.
 

From Steve Eshleman on 05-Jul-2008

Made a stop for fuel in Cessna 310 N3463G. Excellent service. Nice people. A few more amenities such as bottled water would be nice.
 

From Ronald L. Diem on 26-May-2008

We were really impressed with the friendly service and great gas prices. The shuttle was very nice and prompt. Thanks Ken for all your help. The views in and out of the valley were fabulous and Luray is a great little town. We will definitely come back again!
 

From Chris West on 15-Feb-2008

We highly recommend this airport! Kenneth was very friendly and helpful to us with everything during our short visit today and we will definitely be back again in the future.
 

From Luke Stautzenbach on 21-Nov-2007

After reading all the great things people had to say about this airport I had to experience it for myself. Last week I flew in with a friend to visit the caverns. Kenneth and Kevin were both great! They met us at our plane and suggested a few local places to grab lunch before our trip to the caverns. After placing a carryout order at a local restaurant Kevin drove us to pick up our lunch and then dropped us off at the Canyon for a tour. I would highly recommend this airport to everybody! Kenneth and Kevin were both great and even had my passenger (a first time GA passenger) asking me if all "small" airports were this friendly..... I only wish they were!
 

From Brent Johnson on 10-Oct-2007

Rolled in at 6pm, this is closing time in for the FBO. Gentleman stayed late for us to purchase fuel and take a short break. If we had more time and had arrived earlier in the day we could have visited the local Caverns. We had some spectacular views on the way in. Absolutely the best Fuel price around!!

From Nathan Beck on 30-Sep-2007

Excellent stop and destination. The very friendly FBO gave us a ride over to and from the caverns - only 2 mins away. I declined their offer for fuel and they still had the plane tied down and the van ready for us at the north ramp before I could even get out of the plane. Thanks for the great service Kevin.
 

From John Roberts on 05-Sep-2007

Stopped here for fuel on my way to KIAD in a C150 about a month ago. Service was so impressive I still felt compelled a month later to post a comment. A van was ready to take me almost anywhere in the valley, though I only needed fuel! Fueling was quick and everyone was friendly.
 

From Mark Emmart on 25-Jun-2007

Flew into Luray with my wife and kids for a family reunion and a trip to the caverns. Kevin & Ken at the airport were both great. Fun airport to fly into. Great scenery!! Also, Josh at Enterprise was extremely helpful with rental car. Flew in on a Friday and plane was fueled up ready to go Monday morning when we arrived. Nice tie down area.
 

From Joe Konicki on 25-Jun-2007

Spent last SAT at Luray. Airport service was SUPERB! The van met our group at the north transient parking ramp and took us to lunch, to the caverns, and back to the airport. There were about 10 planes, which arrived pretty close together, but the airport handled them all in a timely and professional manner. My hats off to Kevin, a student pilot and our driver. He was punctual and the perfect host! This is a great place to visit and we'll be back!!
 

From Robert Brooks on 29-May-2007

Visited Luray this past weekend, it was a short flight of about 35 miles from OMH to W45. Luray is where I took my private check ride oh so many years ago. The people at this airport are extremely friendly. The strip is in good shape however there are no taxiways. Another reason I went over was to see if I could fly over and get a ride to fly fish the Shenandoah River. Was told they would be happy to take me to the river and pick me up after. Great service, nice people, airplanes...What else does one need?
 

From Rick Edwards on 27-Mar-2007

The service at this airport is absolutely wonderful. Kenny went out of his way not only to take us to the caverns but also took us into town where he recommended an excellent little restaurant for lunch. This is an excellent location for a day trip that offers quite a unique experience. The caverns are spectacular and well worth the visit.
 

From Krista Miller on 08-Dec-2006

We made a day trip from JGG (Williamsburg, VA) to Luray last Saturday. Going west over the mountains was very cool, and dropping down into the valley was neat. John Atwood was tending the airport when we got in, and he cheerfully fueled us up, chatted with us about the goings-on and drove us over to the picnic area in the woods next to the caverns. He picked us up again 30 minutes later. Exceptionally friendly and helpful. Please note that there's a very good reason why the field has three windsocks at different locations! The enclosing mountains make the conditions interesting.
 

From Alex Siu on 26-Nov-2006

Beautiful flight from Winchester (OKV) quaint facility with friendly staff. They did forget to refuel our plane, while they were busy taking us and other guest to the Cavern. You can always pull right up to the pump for faster service. Reasonable fuel price. However, we do not recommend eating at the "cafe" at the Cavern. Substandard service and marginal quality food. Ask the helpful airport staff for a better restaurant recommendation.
