Not familiar with ELP, but Trajen at AUS is fairly GA friendly.

You might want to try T82 and stay at the Hangar hotel. It is an aviation
theme hotel, right on the field, taxi to the hotel in your plane. Also,
Fredericksburg is a nice place to visit while you are there. If you are
hard IMC, then just head for either SAT or AUS. SAT has a few FBO's for GA.

Just was at NEW. Nice folks, and even the millionaire FBO was reasonable
and friendly (not that they were unfriendly elsewhere, but you kinda felt
outclassed having only 4 seats). Taxi's are generally waiting for you
there.

Have fun!

I am planning a flight from Los Angeles to New Orleans for some much needed
R&R
during holidays. My wife does not like to fly more than two 4-hour legs a
day,
so my plan is to fly from EMT to ELP for fuel & lunch than to AUS
overnight.
Next morning we continue to NEW. For return trip, we will stop at AUS for
fuel
& lunch and ELP overnight. However, both AUS & ELP are big airports that
I
have never been to. Are they GA friendly? Can you recommend some GA
friendly
airports in their areas for overnight stop? Thanks.
