About RunwayCheckin

RunwayCheckin lists hotels, rentals, resorts and other places to stay at or near US airports. The starting point is how you get from the field to the stay: on the airport, an airstrip on the property, airport pickup or a nearby option.

The directory currently has 55 stays in 33 states. Each listing links to the property's or airport's website for stay facts and shows when those facts were checked. The airport box uses FAA NASR records, with its own effective date.

Airport data sources

FAA NASR, effective 2026-10-29: airport service facts and attendance schedules. Explicit NONE and N values are different from blank fields. Seasonal attendance rows are retained. The landing-fee flag covers non-commercial aircraft; it is not a schedule of charges. Aircraft rental in FAA's other-services field means aircraft rental, not rental cars. We do not use that field to describe ground transport.

NOAA NCEI 1991-2020 monthly normals: average daily highs, average daily lows and monthly precipitation. Stations must be within 15 km and 150 m elevation difference. Checked same-airport stations take priority, then the number of accepted variables and distance. Every displayed variable must have 12 distinct months, valid measurements and years used, and S (standard) or R (representative) completeness flags. Estimated E, provisional P and missing values are withheld. Tables can contain temperature only or precipitation only. S and R normals can include estimates for missing months. Nearby-station screening does not prove identical climate or exposure at the airport. NOAA documentation.

U.S. Naval Observatory API: sunrise, sunset and civil twilight at the airport reference point on the 15th of each month in 2027. IANA time zone rules apply the local offset for each date, including daylight saving time where observed. Time zone identity comes from the National Weather Service point service. If the USNO API is unavailable, we compute approximate times locally using the NOAA solar equations and label those rows. No-event dates remain marked as such.

National Park Service National Register of Historic Places: historic designation appears only for approved matches of property name, street address, town and state in the official listed-properties spreadsheet. Each note links to its NPGallery record and carries the listing date, spreadsheet cutoff and check date.

Corrections

Email [email protected] with the stay name, the detail that is wrong and a source link if you have one. We re-check the property or airport source, correct the record and record the new check date when facts change. A claim that can no longer be supported is removed or marked as not confirmed.

Booking links

Booking buttons lead to an exact property page on a booking site. If we have no checked match, the button opens the official website. We currently add no affiliate tracking to those links. Listings are free, and properties cannot pay for a position in the directory.
