Tököl Airport (LHTL)

Great spot for a city break to Budapest. Infrastructure is somewhat dated, but everything you need is available. Fast processing. By taxi (Bolt is the Uber here), about 40 minutes.

Great airfield for a city trip to München. PPR requests are answered quickly and hassle-free. Taxi or Uber to the city takes approx. 30 minutes. Would gladly return.

Letňany Airport (LKLT)

Great airfield for a city trip to Prague. Grass runways are OK but quite bumpy. Very friendly staff, AVGAS available. Quick handling. Would happily return. About 20 minutes from the city by Uber.

Great airfield at Lake Balaton. Very good infrastructure. Asphalt runway in service for the past three years. Friendly operator who drove us straight to the hotel. Efficient handling; everything perfect.

San Sebastián Airport (LESO)

by Timo2019-08-12 00:00:00 UTC

Generally a straightforward aerodrome. PPR required for parking; easy to arrange by email with a prompt response. On‑site handling is friendly and uncomplicated. However, if an airliner comes in, it may take a while before you’re attended to.

Sevilla/San Pablo Airport (LEZL)

by Timo2019-08-08 00:00:00 UTC

Used as a port of entry when coming from Gibraltar. PPR required, but obtained quickly and without fuss by email. Handling is mandatory for ExtraSchengen arrivals. Everything worked very quickly and efficiently. We were out of the airport after 10 minutes. After three nights in Sevilla, we were back at the aircraft very quickly as well. We then had to wait a bit for the fuel truck, but that happens from time to time everywhere. Landing fees (VFR, SEP; MOTOW 1474), incl. 3 overnights and handling: 170 EUR.

Overall a good aerodrome: straightforward approach, clear R/T. Everyone on the field was friendly. On arrival we were out of the aerodrome within 20 minutes (arriving VFR from Fes). Departure was a bit more of a hassle. They insisted we use a handling agent; in the end it worked without one, but it took 2.5 h. AVGAS at 2.80 EUR per liter. Landing fee 35 EUR including 3 nights. If you want to keep it simple, arrange a handling agent in advance. If you have the nerves, you can do it without.

Fes Saïss / International Airport (GMFF)

by Timo2019-07-31 00:00:00 UTC

VFR arrival; used as port of entry when arriving from Spain (LEMI). Everything was extremely friendly and straightforward. We did not use a handling agent, which definitely wasn’t necessary. AVGAS 2.58 EUR per liter. Landing fees incl. 2 nights parking: 55 EUR. Entry fee (1 Crew / 3 Pax): 155 EUR.

Good airport with all necessary infrastructure. Everyone very nice and helpful (Customs, Ops, Police, fueling, etc.). We used LEMI as a gateway to Morocco. Unfortunately, the price is extremely high. SEP VFR (MOTOW 1454 KG), landing fee 95 Euro; handling incl. 3 Pax, 4 nights parking and Sunday surcharge, a hefty 380 Euro. We had Air City Classic as handling agent. Swissport never responded to my request. Basically a good airport, but super expensive.

San Luis Airport (LESL)

VFR arriving from LFMQ. Everything perfect and as stated in previous PIREPs. Unfortunately no AVGAS available. Otherwise it would be 5 stars.

Le Castellet Airport (LFMQ)

Great, straightforward aerodrome. VFR inbound from Schweiz. Refueling (AVGAS) completed within 5 minutes of landing. Customs notified, but no one was around.

Riesa Goehlis Airport (EDAU)

by Timo2019-02-17 00:00:00 UTC

Very friendly tower controller on frequency and also when paying the landing fee. Runway and taxiways are very well maintained. Will definitely be back! The restaurant was very busy. From the terrace you have a good view of the airfield; when reserving, ask for a terrace table. The food at the on-site Italian restaurant was excellent.

Are you sure?
