Does anyone have any experience with flying into either KPIL or KBRO to head to South Padre for a weekend? Pro's/Con's, suggestions welcome!


Thanks!

It has been over 7 years since my last trip to South Padre. We flew into BRO. We enjoyed the CAF museum there. We are looking at spending a week there for spring break this March. The big difference seems to be car rental. Since BRO is where the airlines are the cars are cheaper,check CarRental.com. Any recent pirep on the FBOs there. Air nav and 100ll show prices pretty close between the airports.

I fly in there all the time and either FBO there is fine.  My only method of selecting between them is which one has hangar space available.  I don't like to leave the plane outside there because it is not uncommon to have 30 kt gusts across the ramp.
