VFR class B landing.

I personally don't recall (mainly as I wasn't picking up the tab). I recall KSTL being significant but not outrageous.

Just to jump back in and answer Keith...

I'm not a real world pilot! My answer was really more just to point out that there are differences in a Bravo in that it -could- be restrictive but I'm 0 for 0 in real life lol

Out of curiosity, what are the FBO fees usually associated with those large Class B FBOs? If I land at DAL or DFW, am I over optimistic to think I would only have to pay for the top-off?

There will be landing fees charged by the airport and then handling/ramp fees at the FBO. The former cannot be waived, the latter can sometimes be negotiated but I wouldn't plan on getting much of a break. Call the FBO(s) on the field in question and see how you do.

I did fly IFR into DFW 2 years ago and stayed for 2-3 days. I don't recall the specific fees, but they were reasonable. JFK/LGA/BOS on the other hand are pretty steep. You basically can't land at BOS for less than about $200. LGA is the same. JFK is a bit better, $75 for every 8 hours of parking, but there's also a $100 fee if you depart during peak time.
