Smile Ostend offer - recommended

3 of us flew into EBOS on Sunday (26th August 07) in a PA28 from Shoreham (EGKA) and took advantage of the special landing fee offer. The total we paid was 22 euros which included everything - landing, parking for the day, transport across the airfield (and back again) and takeoff. That's about the same as a Shoreham landing fee or (as recently introduced, and rather controversially) a Shoreham go-around fee (if the pilot elects to go-around - ATC instructed go-arounds are free).

All the EBOS staff we encountered, especially ATC, were exceptionally efficient, helpful and friendly. The bus into town is still 1.50 euros and we then caught the train and spent the afternoon in Brugge (15 mins from Ostend/ 4.50 euros day return).

Checking back in was just as efficient through the crew route in the main terminal and we waited all of 30 seconds for the car back to the aircraft.

Superb outing and now wishing we'd spent the night in Brugge!

Excellent day.
