Hi all,
I'm planning a round-trip around france in about 2 months. I haven't flown there very much yet, but so far it's been pretty obvious that refueling there is not straight-forward. Many airfields have self-serve refueling stations, from either Total or BP. And to be able to refuel, you must have a Total or BP card.
Now here's the problem, if you do not have a french bank account number, it is impossible to get a Total card. How am I supposed to refuel as a visitor from abroad?? :ugh:
Would be interesting to hear your experiences on this, and your ways to workaround this typically french problem.
Thanks
JP
