Diverted into Lille due to being knackered a few years ago on my way back to the UK delivering a Maule. Great airfield, great ATC no bollocking about. Landed and got prime parking spot then a lift to the terminal by an absolute sweetheart of a handling agent, she even scored me a huge pilots discount at a fancy hotel with a free lift back and forward. The landing fee was steeper than i'm used to but the lifts and discount more than made up for it. The only condition imposed on me was to get my puddle jumper out of dodge by 8AM as they were expecting an armada of private jets for a tennis tournament the next day.
