I have always found Norwich, to be one of the best & cheapest distinations for GA. No compulsory & expensive "handling". Reasonable price for landing & parking for a large airport. Usually told to park at stand 5, which is near the terminal & the marshaller gives you a lift in his minibus, to the terminal.

Then, if you want to save the cost of a taxi, you can catch the "Park & Ride" bus into the centre of Norwich. ATC usually very friendly & helpful. Yes, you do have to go through security & have you piccie taken, but that is fairly common these days & we should not complain about it.

At some regional airports, such as Bristol & Luton, you are lucky to get a bill of less than £50 for a S/E, landing, parking & handling. AND you get muttered at if you forget to wear the yellow tabard/waistcoat.
