Excellent! Thanks for the report. I have to say, the bill is even higher than I expected. Did you have a passenger or was the passenger fee for yourself? I would have thought aircrew would be exempt.
If anyone here is tempted to try something similar (I am), can I suggest that it would be cheaper overall to fly to the US and do it there! San Diego International is the 2nd busiest single runway airport in the world (after Gatwick) and charge a total fee of $25. The locals think this is daylight robbery, since most airports are free.
