Located 20 miles northwest of Boston, the L. G. Hanscom Field is a first-class general aviation facility bounded by the towns of Lincoln, Concord, Bedford and Lexington. Many historic sites are nearby, including Minutemen National Park and the North Bridge where the first shot of the Revolutionary War was fired. The airport is also situated close to many high-tech businesses and defense companies and provides an excellent option for those seeking to avoid the congestion of Boston and Logan.

Arrived Friday 5 PM, very busy actual IFR, I was number seven in trail. FBO did great job, had multiple people to help with luggage. This despite the arrival of a number of big jets. Only issue was Enterprise Rental, expected car to be waiting for me. I had to wait about 15 to 30 minutes. Hertz has cars there, but did not use because of prior negative comment posted here.

After a recent visit, I was missing my car key fob when I arrived home. I called Signature, thinking that I might have left the key in the Avis car I had rented. The woman at the desk sent someone to check for the key, which was in the rental car. She then mailed the key back to me. No charge. This was great service, for which I am really appreciative.

On Aug. 19-20 Signature was very accommodating with fuel, ramp service and customer satisfaction. Being a MASSPORT facility, their standard fees are not out of line with other enterprise funded airports. They provided full service and met or exceeded all of our expectations.

Signature was great, but Gosh, WATCH OUT FOR HERTZ. I rented a little compact car from Saturday 9am to Sunday 7pm, and they charged me $210.57!! That's horrible enough for me to avoid KBED altogether next time.

Great service at Signature BED however, as usual I was put at the far end of the flight line apparently because I was driving a piston twin (Piper Navajo) not a business jet. Upon arrival the ramp was full so it was understandable, but the following day space was available near the FBO, and I could have been moved....

I stopped at KBED in my F33A Bonanza, Signature Flight Support, on 11/10/08 for a meeting. Was there for 4 hours, and had called in advance. Fuel cost was $5.79 - 11.3 gal Handling charge: $28.00 Parking was $15.00 (No extra charge for the bird droppings that were all over my plane when I got ready to leave...They parked my plane under a light post) I understand that I will get a separate bill from the airport authority for landing- about $15.00. Only consideration- somewhat cheaper than KBOS. Total: $80.53

Arrived on Weekend in single engine. Immediately met and directed by line. CSR at desk friendly and helpful. 50-cent weekend gas discounts and waived handling fee with fuel purchase. Top class lounge. Highly recommend.

Came into KBED two days in a row, to pick up my son from MIT and drop him off again the next day. I called in advance both times and Signature had a new, clean Ford available and waiting as a courtesy car at no charge to go to the Alewife red line T station for me to use to pick up and drop off my son. The service at Signature was friendly, professional and very helpful. Susan (?) provided directions to the station and held the car for me both days. The service was excellent and much appreciated as it allowed my son to join us for a family function.

Signature was all I could ask for, good service, did what I asked, got me a cab, to drop my daughter off at BU, who waited and brought us back no problem. I bought 40 gal gas and their fee was waived, but I just got a bill from Massport for $15 departure fee. The invoice says right on it Effective Nov 1st, 2007 departure fee for aircraft over 10, 000 pounds increases to $2.04 I guess my 5, 000 Baron gets to pay more.

Had to make an unscheduled landing here in my 172SP because of a problem with the autopilot. I was treated very well. Maybe a little too well. I figured I would see it on the bill but the charges were very reasonable and the service excellent. My thanks to Bob Freitas for his good advice and attentiveness of the entire staff.

Flew into bed yesterday (Saturday). Everyone at signature was helpful. I had rented a car with hertz, but somehow the date was confused, but the counter person at signature was able to call hertz and sort everything out. The line staff was very helpful and friendly. There's a $0.50 discount on gas on the weekend - the total comes to $5.37/gal, which is more than I pay at home (KFME), but not out of line for a major FBO at a big-city class D airport.

Overnighter at Signature on 6/26/07 in a Skylane. Service was very good. They do have a $25 ramp fee if you do not buy 8 gallons of fuel. Even though their fuel prices are high, I would rather spend that $25 on gas than on nothing. Parking is expensive but no more so than a car in a big city downtown garage. No delays in getting luggage and us from the plane to their terminal and vice versa today. No hassle or delays with the MASSPORT required proplock.

I agree with the previous posting...Appeal it! In addition to this foolishness, they have redefined "night" at Bedford. Whatever you do, do not arrive before 0700 or you'll see a "night landing" fee of $49. Their slogan should be, "Come Get a Glimpse of Life with User Fees!" Taxachusetts strikes again. And, don't expect much more than someone in Philadelphia (or India) reading from some manual when they try to explain it. Stay away from this place.
Response from Sara Arnold, MASSPORT Hanscom
Massport is working aggressively with its new invoicing contractor to address the landing fee issues identified below. Despite the multiple complexities involved in data collection and the time required to iron out the bugs when working with new software, the number of invoicing errors each month is small and continues to decline. That being said, our experience indicates that changes in aircraft ownership and changes in tail numbers seem to create an unending set of challenges. If you find an invoicing error, please contact us so we can make the appropriate corrections. We are also willing to discuss our policies and always value your input.

Regarding the bad landing fee... Please appeal it. I just got a $61.05 invoice from Vector-Massport for FLYING OVER Hanscom on my way from KLWM to KOWD. Their system is obviously dysfunctional. Massport is obviously more concerned with revenue than customer service or accuracy! Beware when using this airport.

I have landed and used Signature over a dozen times in the last year for business flights into the Boston Area. Signature is always great at BED, although sometimes a little slow to remove the prop-lock in the remote area of the tarmac reserved for the unworthy and piston singles. I recently received a TAKEOFF bill from Vector-Massport for $35.15 for a single engine Mooney. I have been paying a $10.00 LANDING fee for many months. This is the first time I have see a fee this high at BED and I hope that it is a mistake.

Update to May 7 comment: per Angel Flight NE and the manager at Signature, this charge should not have been levied and a refund is being made.

Used Signature/BED on May 5, 2007 for an Angel Flight mission. On the ground for about 45 minutes. Friendly staff, good service. Massport assesses a $12.75 fee for parking, from 0-24 hours, and no exceptions for Angel Flight mission (shame on Massport).
