I have been there with a 172. Not even the very cheep (compared to Germany) fuel for an by intention an almost empty 172 hawk could compensate the landing fees, taxi fees, follow me fees, custom and security fees. On top of that we had to disuss if we are permitted to carry a nail sissor in our private airplane (coming from an gras airfield we could have brought in hundreds of kilos of TNT, nobody cared, but carring a nail sissor in the hand bag going back to our plane was a tremendous problem...) all this makes LUX a very unpleasant airport. I wont go nera ELLX any time soon! Rather go to the colse by airfields in France or Germany! And this is condidereing that part of my family lives about 3km from that airport.
...feels just like a hospital.....yes, its smallness can get you to the plane quickly and back to your car/bus, the duty free is good, but customs officers look at you as if you have done something wrong, the airside bus drivers thnk they are gods, and Luxair's insistence that a phone's flight mode means it can NOT be used during flight, downgrades any hope of it being anything but a small, regional airport.
