I've been a long time user of SAN. Landmark just quoted overnight fees of $112.50/night (with 100 gal min fuel purchase) for a piston twin (421C). Seems high - may try MYF this weekend.

As I mentioned in my previous posting, the guys and gals at Landmark have been nothing but professional upon all of my visits. I got a phone call from Clay (assistant general manager) regarding my phone call last week. It turns out, the gal who helped me had Angel Flight confused with a profit medical transportation service. I am told Landmark is a supporter of Angel Flight and they do waive all ramp fees. As an Angel Flight pilot I a very grateful and appreciative of the their support and Clay's professionalism.

I have flown into this airport and used this FBO a few times, every time the service has been excellent. I was treated very professionally. However, today I called to so make sure if the ramp fee will be waived for an Angel Flight mission and the girl on the phone said "no" with strong certainty. So I asked again, if I am required to pay the ramp fee for an Angel Flight she said yes. I must say I am a bit disappointed, even at KLAX and KSFO all fees are waived for missions. OH well.... It’s a free country.. I just thought I would share my experience with fellow pilot in little planes.

Come down about once a month in our Turbo 310. Haven't ever had a problem with ATC, we go IFR every time. Landmark is great. Their line guys are professional, and the customer service is exactly what you'd expect at an airport of this caliber.

I landed at SAN on 5-27-11 with my Super Viking and had a fantastic experience. The line personnel were extremely attentive during fueling, and although I was only able to take on 18 gallons of fuel (instead of the 20 they usually require) they waived their $25 landing fee. They then provided me with free shuttle service to the terminal to pick up my friend, and then we were on our way. A great FBO.

Arrived a couple of times over the past week and Landmark's service was consistently excellent, despite my arriving in a Cessna taildragger rather than a G4. Every step in the arrival process exceeded expectations, beginning with the approach controller. Perhaps there is something in the air in San Diego as everyone we encountered was very receptive and helpful. The Landmark staff are examples of how to do it right.

Pre scheduled a SUV for my PAX several days in advance. Called 20 minutes out to confirm, they did and got their and no SUV. The CSR's tried to help, they took no ownership of the problem, basically where just going through the motion. Forty- five minutes later the car came. They did offer the Van to transport my customers. Then a $325 landing fee was insult to injury. Not impressed.

I flew into KSAN for a short business meeting in my A36. Landmark did an excellent job. The lineman was right there to marshal us into the ramp, the customer service rep was very efficient and they waived the ramp fees with the purchase of fuel. Great job!

I was planning on picking up a passenger in my Baron, and was very disappointed to hear that the ramp fee was either 1)$150, or 2) what equates to $200 in fuel (for a piston twin!). I was so disappointed that I ended up going to KMYF instead. Sorry Landmark, but your hangared trailer building isn't that nice.

Awesome customer service. We flew in, in a 172 and were immediately marshaled in to a convenient parking spot. We were also greeted by a very customer oriented lady who was more than generous with hospitality. For the friendly customer service, shuttle ride and convenience in location the $25 landing fee is well worth it. I WILL be back. Landmark hits the spot on customer service.... Great job!

First off, the controllers in SoCal and at the airport are first class and very friendly. No problems getting in and out. (Left on a VFR clearance...Got a center code from Clearance!) You do have to be "on your game" to mix it up with all the airliners though. Landmark ramped me promptly and gave me a ride to the hotel downtown. Fueled promptly on return and marshalled out amongst the jets. Overnight parking at $12.50 w/ min fuel purchase is very reasonable.

I love San Diego, I love KSAN and I love Landmark! I've had nothing but good experiences here. I fly a little Cherokee 180 but I've never had any issues getting in between the Boeings. This airport is busy but not too busy. The people at Landmark are friendly, charge a very reasonable ramp fee and will give me a ride into town for no extra charge. They even come pick me up and bring me back to the airport when I'm ready to leave. Very convenient.

I visit Lindbergh weekly in an RV-7A and the service at Landmark is always great. A lineman is always waiting to guide me into a parking space and help load bags into the van. The front desk staff is friendly and the ramp fee is reasonable considering the airport ($25 or $12.50 with 20 gals of fuel).

My recent three day stay in San Diego started with a great experience. The lineman was a pro. He guided our Bonanza to parking and assisted us with luggage all the way to our waiting rental car. We drove to our great hotel a couple of miles away and were delighted with Landmark's choice of a place to stay. This was a great, no hassle, experience. Thanks for helping make our visit an exceptional experience.

Flew in the KSAN on 04 Jul in a Diamond Da-20 from KBUR, VFR. Once I was handed over to the Tower, I was told that a lot of heavy metal was coming in, but that they were going to work me in. Approaching from the ocean and told to enter in on an R downwind for 27. I was asked to keep it really tight to the rwy as the timing between the regional was going to be tight. As I was on the downwind, I was told to extend the downwind and expect a few left 360's..& Yes, keep'em tight! So after about (3) 360's & the close passing of two 737's I was cleared to land, make best speed! Base, Final cross the numbers, 150, 100...GO AROUND! Yikes, I thought I felt something pushing my 6.... Full power, climb out & told again, tight downwind and expect 360's..Went through the motions again and this time...Touchdown! I enjoyed the challenge.. Great job SAN ATC. Landmark by the way was great as always. Although this was my first visit to SAN the service level was what I expected from other Landmarks elsewhere.

I have been here twice, and both experiences have been outstanding. Both times, I was met by a lineman who ran (!) to meet my airplane, marshaled me to my spot, took my fuel order, and helped me with my luggage. When I walked into the FBO on my second visit (about two months later), one of the CSRs put down the paper he was working on and walked over to me to thank me for coming back! All this for a guy in a piston single who bought 30 gallons of AVGAS and paid a $12.50 handling fee. I'll definitely be back!

Flew in for an overnight on 7/12/09. ATC and Tower were great to deal with, and Landmark was very professional and courteous. $25/night parking fee, reduced to $12.50/night with minimum fuel purchase. Great deal considering car parking in downtown San Diego runs over $30/night. Will definitely use Landmark again.

Landed KSAN in beautiful VFR Weather south along the coast. First time at Landmark. Found them to be very friendly. They called a cab since the shuttle was running slow. $25/Night for great service is well worth it. Thanks, will be back.

Flew my Cessna 310 in for a few hours on May 4, 2009 and didn't use a nearby (and much less expensive) airport due to critical time constraints. Have used this FBO when it was JimsAir and they were pretty expensive ($60 ramp fee) but Landmark is now charging an outrageous $145 ramp fee for a light twin. The alternative is a minimum 50-gallon fuel purchase at $2 more per gallon than other airfields -- so the cost is pretty much a wash. It is my plan to never frequent any Landmark Aviation FBOs in any of my airplanes. They got $145 but won't be getting any other purchases from me EVER -- and for a $140 gouging won't be getting ANY $1,000+ Jet Fuel purchases from me.

Just returned from a great afternoon in San Diego. Landmark treated my wife, our Cessna 150, and me just fine. Yes, we paid a $25 ramp fee but it was worth it for the convenience of landing at Lindbergh, just across the street from the Midtown trolley stop, within walking distance of Little Italy, the Gaslamp, ferry to Coronado, etc. We've landed at Gillespie several times before and taken the trolley into San Diego but landing at SAN was much more convenient (and fun). On initial contact the tower controller told me my radio was barely readable. I took that as a subtle hint to think twice before arriving VFR at a class B airport in a slow single, as no other controllers have complained about my radio being weak today or in the past. Other than that one little admonishment, the arrival and departure were routine. I look forward to returning in the near future.

My company took a King Air and a Citation Encore in for an overnight. Both aircraft were buying fuel, which was $1.20 higher than our next destination, and we tried to work out a deal to waive the overnight fees of $360 for each aircraft. Landmark waived only half the fee, even though we were willing to purchase more fuel than we needed. The King Air had to go back in the next day for a pick up, but Landmark would not waive any of the $360 ramp fee, regardless of how much fuel we purchased. Bottom line - the service wasn't that good, the fees were too high, the fuel prices too high, they have a monopoly so there is no alternative FBO at KSAN. Go to any of the other San Diego airports if you can.
