Canada to Europe - customs and airport recommendations?

Hi all,

after postponing my trip many times, it looks like I will finally be able to fly from Canada to Europe and back the first half of September.

I've flown in Europe quite a bit 10 years ago, but I'm a bit out of touch with the practicalities regarding customs/immigration/international airports, and when you need them.

The proposed route would contain landings in:
Canada - Greenland - Iceland - Faroe Islands - Scotland - Ireland - Belgium
And then return pretty much in the same way:
Belgium - England - Wales - Faroe or Schotland - Iceland - Greenland - Canada.

Are there any flights here where I would *not* need customs or an international airport? I figure Ireland to Belgium could technically be done without it, since both of them are in the Schengen zone. Is there anything else I'm missing? I don't mind bigger airports, but might be nice to avoid them when I can.

I'd be flying a Canadian registered Cessna 310.

Kind regards,
digits
