My friend and I are planning to do a day trip to Le Touquet from an airfield not to far from Doncaster this Thursday.
I have done a search about this subject but nothing very up to date seemed to present itself.
It will be our first channel crossing (although not my friends first sea crossing) and was wondering if anyone could pass any recent useful information regarding such a flight ie best/quickest/easiest routes, any special procedures for entering French airspace, arrival procedures, landing fees, where to eat (away from the airport) etc.
It will be my first international flight since gaining my licence so I can't wait
And if all goes well the door will open to many more in the future.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice offered.
Nadders
