Online Reviews Summary

Traveler reviews and experiences at Castillonnès Airfield (FR-0618) are limited, reflecting its nature as a small, general aviation airfield primarily serving an aeroclub rather than commercial passenger traffic. Overall sentiment leans positive among those who use it for private aviation, training, and leisure flights, appreciating its welcoming atmosphere.

What Travelers Love

Warm Welcome: Visitors consistently report a warm welcome at this small country airfield, often associated with the local Aéroclub de Castillonnès.
Scenic Flight Opportunities: The airfield is ideally situated for scenic flights over historical sites like the Bastides of Castillonnès, Villeréal, Monflanquin, and castles in the Dordogne valley.
Training and Leisure Aviation: It serves as a base for pilot training (formation) and ULM rides (balades en ULM), appealing to aviation enthusiasts and those seeking introductory flight experiences.
Accessible for General Aviation: While specific reviews are scarce, similar small French airfields are often noted for their free landing for general aviation, though fuel (Avgas 100LL) may require a specific "Total card" rather than standard credit cards.

Common Complaints

Limited Facilities: As a small general aviation field, Castillonnès Airfield lacks the extensive terminal facilities, amenities, and services typically found at commercial airports. There are no indications of shops, restaurants, or large waiting areas.
No Commercial Passenger Services: The airfield does not cater to commercial passenger flights, meaning there are no security checkpoints or customs/immigration facilities for travelers in the traditional sense.
Lack of Public Transportation: Direct public transportation connections to the airfield are not mentioned, and visitors would likely require private vehicle access. Information on specific parking facilities for non-aircraft is also not readily available.

In summary, Castillonnès Airfield (FR-0618) is highly regarded by its niche user base for its friendly atmosphere and opportunities for general aviation activities and scenic flights. However, prospective visitors should be aware of its very limited infrastructure, which aligns with its role as a local aerodrome rather than a commercial travel hub.
