We frequent FlightStar 6-8 times a year for business. Their responsive service to both passenger and pilot is excellent. We always feel welcomed and cared for.

On April 15, 2013 I arrived at Flightstar in CMI for 2 days of business just ahead of what turned out to be 2.5 days of steady rain and storms. When I called for a hangar a few hours later I found they had already put me in the hangar due to increasingly bad weather. On my last day I was provided with a quiet lounge to catch a few Zs' while waiting for the weather to moderate. A courtesy car was then provided for lunch. All in all, Flightstar turned out to be a wonderful 1st class FBO. I am looking forward to my next stay with them.

Diverted due to weather near closing time for them. The line guys were very responsive and offered their hangar in case of hail and reported tornado heading in the general direction. Fueled and no charge for the hangar (hope they are not in trouble...). The front desk gave me the crew car and arranged for a discounted rate at an area hotel. Nothing less than outstanding service.

Came in to RTC for sim training.... It was cold and I asked how much to hangar.... Decided not to hangar but weather changed and I called to have them hangar the last day so that it would be warm.... They had put it in the hangar the first night.... Didn’t charge me but for one day when I was there 4. The front desk and Samantha is great.

Spent a week at RTC for Cessna 421 school. Flew a Bonanza in on Monday and left on Friday. Warm welcome by the staff. There were a couple of bad storms that passed thru and was told my aircraft had been placed in a hangar at no charge. Also, the day I left, I needed a battery jump, which they provided immediately at no charge. I bought 25 gallons of 100LL and was treated like I was a Boeing 767 buying 85,000 gallons. Very nice experience.

I felt very welcome here, as if I were visiting a friend's house. Staff members had very positive attitudes. They knew what they were doing and made it obvious that they care about customers and their aircraft. The pilot's lounge was big, comfortable, and practically soundproof - a great place to relax or get work done. It had a giant TV, lots of comfy furniture including a table to sit at, a private restroom with shower, an attached private office space, a sleep room, and an exercise room. There were several public computers that could print, wireless Internet, a nice flight planning room, a kitchen area, and a nice passenger waiting area. There was enough food, snacks, and beverages for free and for sale that I don't think a pilot could ever go hungry or thirsty at this place! It was all the "little things" that added up to make this one of the best FBOs I have ever visited. Flightstar is a well thought-out FBO with excellent service, and I look forward to returning.

I can't say enough good things about Flightstar. I landed at CMI in a Sundowner on Friday night, was marshalled in and tied down immediately. The staff was very courteous, and the facilities were top-notch. All their fees were up front, and boy was I happy! No landing fee, no overnight tie-down fees (as opposed to a small fee for a hangar), and a simple $10 handling fee that could be waived with 10g fuel (though why someone would buy fuel at CMI, I can't say). It was cold, so I called Saturday night to ask them to plug in the plane Sunday morning before we left. When I got there, the plane had been moved to their hangar and plugged in since 5am! It's rare to see this kind of service - I will definitely be back and would recommend Flightstar to anyone!

Wow! I was just calling Gary to see what type of ground transportation services is available at KCMI. When I informed him of my itinerary, he quickly volunteered to research my options with prices. He didn't have to do this, and it is clearly to me an indication why Flightstar receives such rave reviews. Look forward to meeting you tomorrow, Gary. And, Thanks!!

First class reception. Didn't need fuel, but they still treated us very well. This as a compassion mission and we chose CMI for the hand-off. A very, very nice FBO with lots to offer.

A friend of mine and I were on a trip in 2 taildraggers and landed at Champaign due to deteriorating weather. The folks at Flightstar could not have been more supportive and welcoming. After a brief period on the ramp with skies growing ever darker, we tucked the two Cessna’s in their hangar. I offer Flightstar my heartfelt thanks and recommend them to all pilots. I think we bought a combined total of 11 gallons of avgas, yet they could not have treated us better or made us feel more welcome. We used their excellent facilities (including the pilots' exercise room), borrowed their crew car twice, relied on their hotel arrangements and had the benefit of their hangar to protect the airplanes from the storms. They were there at every turn to help us with every request including moving the airplanes around. We were not treated better anywhere on the trip which included 9 days and almost 20 airports.

Top Notch facility with good service, definitely in my top 10 FBO's for a corporate/charter pilot who is tethered to the airport.

Visited CMI and stopped at FlightStar FBO. Met and directed out front very quickly, and Samantha and her staff were friendly and very helpful in providing a crew car for 2 hours. First time in and out of CMI, and ground control was also friendly and helpful during taxi and takeoff.
