The route is easy, it is just a Visual Reporting point to ease you into there airspace.
Handing is mandatory. I fly in 2/3 times per week during my busy periods at work and the cost for my Cessna is £45 which includes landing and handling. Being a "major" airport they have great Instrument approaches which I have used on a number of occasions and this is all included in the handling fee.
The local handling agents are suberb and have a pilots lounge with big leather sofas and free drinks (alcholic for your self loading ballast!).
They treat you the same regardless of a/c type with chocks and a ride to the lounge. Refueliing is all done for you and they are average priced for Avagas. Weather and fligt planning etc is all included in the price.
Well worth a trip.
