KMTP, Montauk L.I. also charges $15 for parking but has no fuel. It's a great
place to fly into for lunch, the beach at the end of the runway, or golf . As
a
resort area the price of land and housing is out of sight. If the property
was
to be used for multi million dollar housing, would we regret not paying the
parking fee it it had helped keep the operation in business.



Been to Montauk plenty of times . . . there is nothing at the airport but a pay
phone to call for a cab. The "beach" to which you refer is the Sound . . . if
you want to get to ANYTHING (restaurant or REAL beach) it is a $15 cab ride
there and $15 ride back. It is a resort area, so the landing/parking fee is
reasonable (and seasonal) and I don't mind paying it . . . but don't mislead
the folks into thinking that's all they have to pay.
