What is your planned arrival time? If it's between about 2100Z - 0000Z be prepared to be mucked about by ATC. That's the rush hour for inbound freight with close to 40 arrivals of various types and speeds - 737/757/767/Electra/ATP/A300. Add to that lej as ATC training airfield and it can be a balls ache. If arriving at that time I add 200kg (757) fuel just for ATC. Expect early descents from area radar (munich/bremen), often with 2000fpm followed by aggressive speed control. My advice is to put the most basic arrival in the FMC and then wait to see what they can do to you!



Any other time of day, it's fine. Leipzig is a fine city with much to do/see/eat/drink.

Enjoy!
