Flew in 9/30/25 Piper Seneca. $500 for 30 minutes. I'd expect to pay more for an airport like BOS but the $155 security fee for the guy we walked past 5 minutes before to look at our license before we walked out on the ramp is over the top. What security did that provide?

One of the biggest questions GA pilots have before flying into a larger airport like this are fees, which are rarely published in detail. I just received a quote today (8/27/25) for a Piper Dakota (less than 3, 000 lbs MTOW) for a quick turn to drop off a passenger for a commercial flight departing KBOS. Here is what I was quoted for your reference: $55.00 Handling Fee (waived with 10 gals) $17.00 Infrastructure Fee $33.00 Landing Fee $70.40 GA Fee $155.00 Security/Screening Fee $63.90 Parking =============================== $394.30 TOTAL for a quick turn dropoff in a light single Needless to say, this is way more than most GA pilots can afford. More GA friendly destinations are KBED, KOWD, KBVY
