Parking at major airfields..?
Weather permitting, this Saturday I'm flying to Norwich airport and back to pick up a passenger. To my surprise, when I've called Ops at the airport, they have advised me that as I will only be on the ground a short while, I will be directed to park the C150 at the main terminal, rather than in a GA area.
Is this normal for private flights into fairly large airports? I know Norwich isn't all that busy but it does seem a little strange that I may be allocated my own 'departure gate' for one passenger, and have to park alongside F27s, J31s etc.
Has anyone been to Norwich, and if so where were they asked to park? And has anyone else encountered this at similar sized airfields?
Thanks folks!
(PS - hope the blinkin' weather improves by then....)
