Landing fees for a light twin totaled $45 without adding the minimum 40 gallons of 6.81 avgas.

Very nice flight to MTH and a Lineman was there to greet the plane/assisted with parking. The Lineman was also quick to service fuel as requested and there is still a service fee at this airport even if you purchase fuel. The cost for 100LL on this day was $6.55 per gallon and not that much more than the self-service 100LL. BUT when I walk into the FBO with no one else around, a woman with thick glasses began to screech about a facemask was required. Then the boss (obviously him) walk into the FBO without his mask on but NOT a word came from the same woman. I think that the FBO would be improved if this same woman were replaced.

Cannot speak for the avgas side of things but flying a Citation Bravo (you leave a comment for the jet side of the FBO) all over the country I can say Marathon has the highest fees of any airport I go to with the exception of Teterboro. Minimum fuel purchase, for the ridiculous high priced fuel is 275 gallons. For a Bravo that is just shy of half tanks, God forbid you only can only take on 200 gallons or in my case 250, you pay the high price for the fuel AND HIGH RAMP FEE. They really go out of their way to gouge the flying public.

KMTH General Aviation has been excellent during our trips to Keys. Always flexible. Line staff and front desk folks are awesome. Highly recommend.

After landing, we are asked if we prefer to pay the 15$ fee vs. buying 10 gals of 100LL at 6.35$. We go for the 10 gals of fuel, as we needed some anyway. When returning after lunch, we are hollered at by the lady at the counter claiming our C172 would not take more than 9.3 gals and she would "gracefully" and "exceptionally" accept to waive the 15 $ fee. Quite strange, only 9.3 gals after a 2.2 hrs. flight... Anyway we leave and when we get to destination we had a message to call her back since the lady had switched receipts with another plane and wanted us now to authorize a sale of 0.7 gals (yes, 3 quarts of 100LL). Ok, we could have assumed that the mistake being so minor, this could have been waived, but no, we were charged for the 0.7 gals of 100LL. And another 2.5 $ "security fee".... Will I fly to MTH again? Maybe be and only if I have no other option.

Jury is out on this one...Ran down to Marathon to escape hurricane Dorian. Working with relief pilots they have told me Dorian devastated parts of Bahamas. This was an emergency reposition and not vacation or business travel. It was low season and 50% of the businesses are closed. Marathon GA/Marathon Jet (who are the same company) quoted me a laundry list of premium charges. Since the hurricane stalled we were stuck extra days which they charged full price for. The runway is too short and has towers off the end for us to add more weight in fuel that they required us to buy or pay penalty. I asked for days to talk to Manager James about working out something but never heard back. Waited in FBO for James to show up until it was too late and we had to leave. CSR made comment that "Marathon is expensive down here" even though we didn't have any choices then. For people who were impacted by a hurricane themselves one would think they wouldn't be so hardened and crass...

I would like to give the best evaluation to this FBO because they really helped make my first flight experience to this place truly unforgettable. A friend and I flew from X51 in a little unconventional airplanes (WSC), Delta Wings motorized, Light sport. In my particular case I only use Mogas fuel and as in the FBO they do not have it, they looked for a 5-gallon tank and they took me in their car to a gas station and also with a lot of kindness. The place is clean with all the necessary for a transit pilot and excellent attention. Another detail is that a gentleman and two ladies who were working precisely on Mother’s Day attended to us! Thank you very much for giving us such extraordinary help!

I arrived in a SM 1019 Turbine Bird Dog and was instantly helped with tie-downs and unloading the aircraft. Emily and crew got a Jet-A truck to come over from the Jet Terminal for refueling, even the refueling gent was terrific! My rental car was brought out to the aircraft and every single person I talked to was a credit to the FBO! I have to also single out Jessica who took it upon herself a few days after I left to straighten out a rental car charge issue, which is totally not her job (IMHO). She called the main terminal, straightened it all out with the Budget car rental agent, all in about 10 minutes! I simply am not used to this kind of above and beyond treatment flying a little two-place airplane, even if it does have a turbine! To the folks that run this place, give Jessica a raise. She and Emily both are the reason I will talk every single pilot and aircraft owner I know, to come visit and stay with Marathon General Aviation. Nice job folks. A+++
