Dover to Calais? It's equally likely you'll be abducted by aliens, frankly.
"Oh and if anyone is carrying loads of cash, rare with cost of flying declare if ask or another fine."
EU limit is 10K EUR in cash - not sure why you'd need this much on your flight to France either...
If the weather isn't great, don't go - otherwise don't sweat it. It's an easy trip (as you'll realise once you've done it!).
Sam it is a legal requirement to carry an intercept card at all times on all flights in all airspaces so is part of a ramp check.
Yes the limit on cash is high and they can not stop you carrying it BUT it must be declared if not a 10% at least fine, it is to stop money laundering.
So Sam the point was the actual need for these is very low but the French police know every bit of paper you need to be legal and see ramp checks as a money making exercise.
Better to be prepared than having your day ruined visiting some French police station and it does happen.
