Rental Car Tip: If you normally get a good rate on rentals (we do at AVIS) and they are not advertised by your FBO, but one is near by, they may deliver the car to the FBO for you without an additional fee. This is especially great places that only offer Go Rentals for 4x the price of a car at another rental company.
Great General Info: these are a few things we always look at before we go
Weather Links:
- Aviation Weather
- WindyTV
- Wunderground (It is so cool when looking at weather apps you can also look at actual cameras on the ground in slightly different locations to get a real time look at the current conditions.)
Mobile Apps:
- Foreflight (Awesome for planning, weight and balance and tracking the flight
- Aeroweather (Great for a quick look at all of the Metars/Tafs
- Wunderground (Simple weather app)
- Opentable (Good for making restaurant reservations; waiting with young kids isn’t easy!)
