Common Complaints

Untowered Airport Activity: As an untowered airport, it can get quite busy, sometimes requiring pilots to be extra vigilant and make accurate position reports to avoid "spicy" situations.
Restaurant Peak Hour Delays/Noise: While highly rated, some reviews mention occasional delays in service at the restaurant during peak hours or noise from low-flying planes.
Security Wait Times: Current TSA security checkpoint wait times are estimated at 28 minutes, and immigration wait times at 8 minutes. These are informational data points rather than widespread complaints, and services exist for real-time updates.

Overall, French Valley Airport is highly regarded as a welcoming and enjoyable destination, particularly for general aviation pilots and those looking for a unique dining experience with an aviation backdrop.
