Flying on the Continent in March
Hi all,
I have 2/3 weeks in March in which I am looking to head across to the continent and complete a portion of my hour building (probably around 30 hours). I have 2 options in mind:
- Visit some friends in the South of France
- Fly through France, Belgium/Luxembourg and into Germany.
I was wondering if anyone might be able to give me some constructive advice as to any pitfalls I may encounter, for example:
- Any unusual customs/border crossing procedures (I heard there was one such procedure for crossing into Germany)
- Airport Charges; Fuel, Landing Fees, Parking etc. Is there anywhere these are overpriced? Also I believe Luxembourg is cheap for motor fuel, is the same true of AVGAS?
- Any areas which may be wise to avoid for whatever reason; localised bad weather at this time of year, language barriers (e.g. when looking for somewhere to sleep for the night) etc.
All suggestions gratefully received, I was also considering Scotland.
