Flying to Belgium
I would like to fly from London to Belgium for a quick Saturday trip.
I was thinking about Brussels initially so I contacted Brussels International: they quoted me landing and handling fees of >€500 for a Cessna 182... The only reasonable way would be to land at Grimbergen - a grass airstrip very close to the city - but that would require me to stop at a customs airport first.
So I could consider Antwerpen or Oostend (are these the only two customs airports in Belgium?), but Oostend seems far from the local tourist attraction I am aware of (i.e. Bruges) and I am not sure whether Antwerp is worth the trip.
Any suggestions on attractions/ alternatives destinations/ practical flying tips in Belgium?
