GA airports in Atlanta

Guest Discussion

I am flying to Atlanta later this month and would like a recommendation for an airport in the area fairly near the hotel I will be staying at for a military reunion.

The hotel is Wyndham Atlanta Galleria on 2762 Cobb Parkway, Atlanta, GA 30339.

Thanks in advance

PDK Dekalb Peachtree is closer at about 13 miles

RYY is about 3-4 miles further.

Depending on arrival time, one can be better than the other. RYY is a bit easier to get into and out of.

If you want to take Uber or taxi I’d go to PDK. If you are renting a car it’s a toss up. Fuel is cheaper at PDK (Epps or self serve)

If you need a service center for anything, I fly from north of Nashville, TN to visit DLK aviation at KRYY. Also a great on field restaurant at KRYY.

Restaurant is now only open for dinner. Used to be my favorite lunch stop. I agree about DLK. Dan is a good guy.

Thanks for the information.

Ricky,

If you end up using KRYY let me know and I’ll get you a free ride in our full motion Cirrus sim located there.

Well, actually KFTY is closer – 11 miles and a straight shot on I-285. I am based there. I like it because its a towered field (like the others) but with less traffic generally. Hill Aviation is also great!

The Galleria is 2 miles from my office; 3 miles from my house…please let me know if I can answer any questions or help you out during your stay…The Galleria is great if you are there for only business – Buckhead however is where its at for restaurants and night life, if you want to venture out.

I have to also vote for Fulton county and Hill aviation. Hill BY FAR is the best customer service I’ve ever had in GA. No over night fee up to a couple nights if I remember correctly. Cheapest fuel in the area. Nice amenities inside. Even got a hand written thank you card in the mail a week later thanking me for choosing them. Have never seen that before or since

And here’s just how good they are – I just hung up the phone from speaking with Hill, who called me. I have an IFR flight plan on file for 1pm today but hadn’t gotten around to call for a pull out because our departure time has been in flex. They just wanted to know if I was indeed departing today so “they could put me on line and fuel the plane so it would be ready when I am”. If thats not outstanding customer service then I ve never seen it…
