Very pleasant personnel, fine amenities. Fuel cost is somewhat steep, they also add on about 12% in extra unlisted charges, not counting the facility charge, and handling charge and tie down charge. KREG which is about 20min away is just as pleasant and is 35% less.

Freeman Jet Center in Acadiana is one of the finest FBO's I've ever visited! The personnel is very cordial and supportive!
