Durham Tees Valley
Hi troops,
Anyone know the landing, handling and weekend overnight parking fees for a PA28 at DTV and the price of Jet A-1?
How long does it take to get into town, cost by taxi and any eating/drinking holes recommended, preferably with a bit of live music?
Lastly, any decent, cheap B&Bs?
Cheers,
2close

This sort of thread always amazes me,
Midwest are in the UK AIP as the nominated Handling Agent for GA, they don't bite and their advice is free. Why not call them for an answer to almost all of your questions???
Their number is + 44 (0)1325 337733

I cant say about the prices of parking/fuel etc as I just hire from the flying club. Which town do you mean? Please dont say Durham...cos if you mean Durham, then go to Newcastle, as its closer!
If you do...I'd imagine a taxi would be about 20 quid each way, darlington is nearest town, would be about 5-8 quid, and middlesbrough would be about a tenner probably.

Try looking in Lockyears farstrip guides aswell. Knowing GA handling in the Uk it will save you enough to get a decent B&B
If you need an IR/CPL in the future maybe make an appointment with an aeroclub, and ask if they mind you parking outside theirs whilst visiting!

Parking fees for 24 hrs: £2.10 per 1/2 tonne.
Fuel prices: AVGAS £1.25 Jet A-1 (unknown but normally good rates)
