Like Fl245 & P Pete, also been there many times in light twin on medevac flights.
Think the cost is about £350-£500 depending on whether peak time or not.
Bit of a buzz first time, EGll in logbook etc etc, now just a pleasure owing to the slickness and professionalism of ATC, they make it easy and are appreciative of the fact that you are usually single crew et al.
Much easier than many less busy airports who think they are busier.
Never had to go around or anyone behind me. (again due ATC)
Funny one Sunday morning, given priority to line up ahead of several 747's.
BA 747 told to line up after the departing Seneca.
'Line up after the WHAT?' was reply.
ATC: 'If you look left and down, theres a light twin prop, give way and line up after, ...you're obviously not a self improver!'
Had to giggle!
Anyways, hope this helps original Q...think you have to prove necessity to be there too...such as medical/organ transfer etc.
