it is these good folk on the other side who tell me VFR plans for folk like me who are happy to step under CTA and call approaching the nearest VFR point are largely pointless.
There's a very big difference between lobbing up at a Class D approach point without a plan & requesting a clearance from a TAAATS controller through Class C airspace.
It doesn't matter how many times a controller posts on here telling you if you rock up 10 miles before the boundary without a plan and he/she is busy, you're the lowest priority.
Simple. Understand how the system works and you'll get a lot more out if it.
