I have an overnight trip planned from Blackpool to Newcastle tomorrow, and seeing as no-one seems to want to answer the phone there, wondered if anyone could tell me the landing fee charge and overnight parking fee etc.. .. .Thanks.. .LF. .. .ps. I will be routing via Cranfield. You don't get many sunny days like these around here! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />

Is it not in Pooleys? Haven't got mine to hand.. .. .Anyway, good luck. Nice day for it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> . .. .I did the same trip last year in an R44 but we only got to the mouth of the Tyne before we had turn back due to bad weather... . . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> . .Ended up landing at a parachute strip at Peterlee and having to pay £30 in a taxi to get to Newcastle. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> . .. .The joys of flying 'up north' eh?

Thanks RH, tried the numbers in pooleys but it was after five and I couldnt get an answer - just a machine. I was only concerned that I might get hit for a big handling fee, different airports can have huge differences in charges! . .I got hold of them this morning though.. .Peterlee was my second choice, and if you take into account the £18 landing fee, £5 overnight and £15 handling fee at Newcastle I bet the taxi option isn't that far off!. .. .Anyhow, the sun waits for no man, so I'm off to BPL.. .. .Regards.. .LF
