Well, Toussous le Noble will be cheaper than Le Bourget and Valencia is cheaper than Barcelona.
I would also consider flying to Mahon instead of Palma.
And where are the Channel Islands in your planning? Or is cost of fuel not part of the planning process?

SRL,
Pisa: you will have to phone beforehand to reserve parking space, fuel available, fees not cheap.
You might want to consider Siena (LIQS) as an alternate.
Ciampino: no problems, but not cheap.
You might want to consider L'Urbe (LIRU).
You can check the Italian AIP on line here:

Unless you have a particular desire to land at unhelpful and/or expensive airports, you could hardly have come up with a worse list, with the possible exception of Geneva.
You should sub. Cannes for Nice in the same spirit as the other advice you were given.

Thank you very much for your responses.
Firstly, yes i seriously am building some twin hours around europe.
Why? I have recently found myself in a position where I have gained access to an aircraft for a very good rate, reasons for which I will not go into. I would never dream of trying to build hours here in europe if my situation did not exist.
Why Europe and those destinations? I could just burn some holes in the sky here in good ole blighty but I think that it would be much more interseting seeing something of europe.
As for the destinations, the responses were exactly what I was looking for, i am not familiar with the areas and do not know all the airports. I probably gave the wrong impression with the use of the word airfield.
I am looking for suitable airfields close to those planned cities.
Why those cities? Why not?!
Fuel planning does come into it very much, as for the channel islands, I am quite familiar with the areas and so did not include them on the list for information.
Thanks again guys, I will look into those airfields when I get home. When I have finalised the route and flown it I will post the results for anyne who is interesed.
