BX:
Yes this route leads to THRED (before SAM) which is a STAR fix for EGHH but in the chart below checkout how far off my track this route is (the bit on the left). Also I will not be over familiar (IFR) soil ! and I'd prefer to avoid DCT's in my FPL to avoid last minute surprises (ATC not approving etc.).
EIS:
Yes this was my initial route (pink one in image below) but now I am thinking of flying first via Stapleford to meet my old mates.
The other route west of Paris, as you see, splits at MOU and rejoins at ABB with the route East of Paris since all EGHH inbounds from southeast come via WAFFU (or THRED via SW).
