Do they take 4-seaters?
We had to hold for a 747 on the ILS, and then another 5 mins or so for wake turbulence - don't think a 4 seater will bother them!

We flew over for August Bank Holiday last year, a few points:

Check out Nigel Webb's fantastically informative piece here: http://www.polestaraviation.com/?p=24 particularly his information about landing long / short depending on runway in use.

We were collected in no time by a friendly chap in a "follow me" - getting through customs took all of 2 minutes, and we were outside in a deserted terminal!

We got a taxi to Brugges - big mistake at 80 Euros - as everyone else has said, the train / bus combination is far cheaper.

It worked out at about £50 for the landing fee, departure fee, and 36 hours parking inour C-172. Best advice would be that if you need fuel, get it upon arrival - we had to wait for 40 minutes while they fuelled a DC-10 and almost missed our dpearture time for the flight plan.

Have a great time - it was one of the best wekeends we've had, and particularly difficult to achieve.
