“This is one of my favourite airports that I fly too often. This is a full service FOB that has every amenity the larger ones do. There is a full time maintenance facility on site and even a flight school if you want to learn. They have a small restaurant onsite as most others do. This is called a $100 hamburger when you fly to airport restaurants to eat. I know a lot of people grumble over the price of fuel here, you have to realize this place is out in the middle of nowhere; prices here, in Benson, and Bisbee/Douglas will pay a premuim compared to Tucson or Phoenix. I think they charge $6 to park over night but waive that if you buy gas. Not a deal breaker I paid $80 to park in Las Vegas. As with any hobbies there are fees, the bigger the hobbies the bigger the fees.“
“The hotel rooms are pretty up to date and look nice. No surprises if you are familiar with Fairfield. Check in was fast and friendly. The location is away from downtown and the area seems nice. Nogales Mall is steps away and has Starbucks, a great food court (including sushi and take away salad bar) . Even a casino if you want to go some low stakes gambling to pass the time. Oxxo and Walmart are also in walking distance. It’s about a 20 minute Uber or taxi ride from the border. Very safe to walk around day or night.“

“A hidden gem. Reasonable prices, nice atmosphere. They employ people with disabilities which is really great. Very friendly staff. They have an attached bakery with all kinds of delicious goodies, just make sure you go around 11:45am or later so that they have time to prepare them as they're not ready earlier in the morning. Will definitely be back.“
