Online Reviews Summary

Paynesville Municipal Airport (KPEX) primarily serves general aviation, and direct "traveler reviews" akin to commercial airports are scarce. However, pilot experiences suggest a functional and recently improved facility, with an emphasis on convenience for private pilots. Overall sentiment is generally positive, especially concerning recent runway maintenance and competitive fuel pricing, though the airport's smaller scale means fewer amenities.

What Travelers Love

Competitive Fuel Prices: 100LL Avgas is available 24/7 via credit card, with prices reported to be lower than surrounding airports.
Recent Runway Improvements: The runway (11/29) has recently undergone maintenance, with cracks filled and sealed, and a fresh repaint, making it smoother.
Essential Pilot Facilities: The airport offers a pilot's lounge/snooze room, restrooms, computerized weather information, and internet access (WiFi).
Courtesy Car Availability: A courtesy car is available for pilot use, with information provided in the pilot's lounge.
24/7 Access and Self-Service Fuel: The airport is open 24 hours, and self-service fuel is accessible around the clock.

Common Complaints

Limited Amenities and Services: As a smaller municipal airport, it lacks extensive services such as airframe or engine repair, bottled/bulk oxygen, and a dedicated airport restaurant. No other businesses are listed as operating directly at the airport.
Runway Condition (Historical): While recent improvements have been made, past comments noted the runway as being a "little rough" with "large cracks."
Credit Card Reader Limitations: The self-service fuel card reader may not accept Discover cards.
Hangar Availability: There are currently no hangars available for rent, though a waiting list is maintained.
No Security or Customs: Paynesville Municipal Airport is not an Airport of Entry and does not have customs or immigration services, which is typical for a general aviation airport.

Paynesville Municipal Airport offers a convenient and well-maintained stop for general aviation pilots, particularly those seeking competitive fuel prices and essential amenities. While it lacks the extensive facilities of larger commercial airports, recent infrastructure improvements and readily available self-service fuel contribute to a positive experience for its primary users.
