AVGAS 100 LL
No 100 LL served anymore. Surprising decision to exclude all pistons engines. No Notam mentioned it on international basis, just internal Italian information. Now in Sardinia, only Cagliari is serving 100 LL at crazy price of 3,02 Euros/liters ! !!!!!
beja airport

Taxi
ignore the TAXI number in the pilot planning facility and use
TAXIS ABEILLE service 01 39 50 50 00. This worked ok in April 2010 and cost about 18euro into Versailles
re: beja airport
The thing about Ryanair is that they won't mind that it is a fair distance from the Algarve as long as landing fees are cheaper (they specialise in finding airports near (but not quite in) resorts so that they can offer cheap flights). Not so good for people who face an hour and a half's drive to the Algarve once they arrive in Beja but great for those of us who want to go just down the road.

Can anyone give me a adress to go there by car? touzimAirport?
Perfect place to stop, stay and refuel
Ibiza is great to fly to. Perfect prices for staying landing and refuelling. All of spain, but Allicante Vallencia and worse of them all LEAB, is very decent with landing fees. around 10 euro's
perfect in the middle
perfect in the middle, stop for helicopters or plains, of France. Great people friendly and you can eat at the Mc Donalds 10 minutes walk.
Good landingfee 14 i'll guess and normal fuel prices.
refuelling and staying over
Campanile hotel 10 minutes away for sleeping and very nice food. The airport is not always open so call first. Nice people good prices like 14 for landing and normal fuelprices. Custom is kind of keen on N tailnumbers.
Perfect place to stop, stay and refuel
A skydiving attitude, great and helpful people, relax refuel stay what ever you want. Landing fee like around 10 euro's and a perfect place.
great service, great people
So going on a helicopter through spain you need to stop there. Valencia and Alicante you would want to pass because you need an handeling-agent which normally cost like 250 - 360 euro's extra.
Nearby barcelona so perfect to stop refuel and take a coffee.
don't go there !!
i really was chocked about the communication. Although English is THE required languages for everything to do with flying.
I have phoned twice, about the time to come for refueling, twice they said to be there from 1500 to 1700 lcl time. In the NOTAM there is a VFR window of 0800 to 14.00 the guys on the phone both said "NO between 1500 and 1700".
now i did send a mail 12hrs upfront, but the reply came 2 hours before i left at 1200lcl which i didn't check because i already checked out of the hotel and i did phone twice. Nobody told me this on the phone.!!
Then if got confronted, after refueling with scandalous prices of 4.16 a liter. like 2.16 per liter plus outside hours refueling 'bonus' of 326 euro's

Billund
Billund is the main regional airport for the region of Jylland in Denmark, with connections to Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Poland, France, UK, Austria, Estland, Letland, The Faroes, Iceland as well as a host of charter destinations.. Apart from being a vital service for the communities in the region, it and the region has several other interesting attractions, number one probably being LEGO, the famous buidling block. The airport was actually started by the Lego-family and business, in order to facilitate expansion and development of the building block. Lego is still the main employer in the relatively small community, but which has a rather large regional reach. The first LEGOLAND is situated just south of the runway and so is one of Europes largest aqualands, waterfun-for-the-whole-family type of recreational facilty. A few miles from the airport you'll find Givskud Zoo, a major excotic animal park, much known for its extensive research in animal behaviour and endangered species preservation.
Norwegian Air Museum
BodΓΈ is the main commercial airport and main NATO-base in the Arctic region of Norway. It is also the home base for one of the worlds oldest airlines (and the most punctual in Europe), established in 1934. It operates nearly 350 singel flight per 22 hours, year around.
BodΓΈ is also the home of Norsk Luftfartsmuseum (http://www.luftfart.museum.no/), the museal authority on aviation in Norway.
BodΓΈ is the regional center for an area the size of Denmark and has a lot of tourist activity to offer. One very popular attraction is the maelstrom "Saltstraumen", situated a few miles outside the city. Saltstraumen was depicted by Jules Verne in one of his books, as being the strongest in the world.
BOO is home base for search and rescue helicopter, De Havilland DHC-6/300 Twin Otter light transport squadrons and F-16 squadrons.
Kurzeme
splendid aerodrome
Grass strip
My conversion script didn't like the fact that you don't have a designation for the grass strip but it looks parallel to the asphalt strip so I named it "13G/31G".
re: English Destinations
Ryanair expressed an interst in flying from Salerno.

Airport of Oktyabrskiy

Public Transportation
There is public transportation. A city bus (stop at a 10 mn walk) with regular schedule rides to Versailles, and from there Paris, by train.
re: re: Beja Airport

History
While Waltham was founded in 1928 as the de Havilland Flying School. The RAF took it over in 1938, and it served as the home base of the Air Transport Auxiliary during World War II. The field stayed in RAF hands until 1982 (Prince Philip learned to fly here in 1952), and is now home of the West London Aero Club, with ~150 light aircraft based on the field.

Cheap flights to Radomir/Bulgaria - a cheaper alternative to
It will be perfect when Ryanair will also offer soonest cheap flights to Radomir, which is very close to the health/spa city Kjustendil, the city of Pernik, the Blagoevgrad area, the recreational areas of lake Pchelina and lake Studena with some rural tourism and of course the City of Sofia.

Dear Dejan

Thanks for your help

Lux airport is fine but.....
...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.
Free coffee and hot chocolate
Lufthansa supplies free self-serve coffee and hot chocolate in their waiting area. The cups are tiny, but you can get as many refills as you want, and the machine makes a wide variety of coffee types. If only they offered free WiFi as well ...
Broken WiFi
There were only two open WiFi signals showing up in my departure area (the B gates), and both of them redirected to the same server error on 2010-03-14. Unless you have your own 3G stick, don't count on working online while waiting for your flight.
Arrive early for your flight
GVA is a only medium-sized hub, but it's slower than a lot of big airports like LAX or CDG.
When I arrived for an Air Canada flight on a Sunday morning, there were already hundreds of people in several confused long lines for the AC checkin counter more than two hours before the departure time, and service was very slow (most of them had skis in huge bags to check). The security line was also long and slow, and I heard loud British passengers complaining they were late for their flights. After security, you have to line up a third time to show your passport for exit control (that wasn't a long line), then you line up a fourth time to show your passport and boarding card at the gate about 30 minutes before boarding, then you line up the fifth (and final) time to board the plane.
The moral is not to cut it close: at least on the weekend, 2 hours early for an international flight from Geneva should be a minimum, not a maximum. Or if you can, pick an airport like Paris CDG or Frankfurt FRA that's a bit better organized.
Ground transportation from GVA
Taxis are expensive in Geneva, even for the short distance from the airport to the PΓ’quis or downtown (CHF 34, more than EUR 20, for a few kilometers).
The good news is that you can take the train to the main station in the PΓ’quis in 10 minutes (there's a train every 10 minutes or so), or the 5 bus in about 20 minutes (it passes the exposition hall and the United Nations on the way). If you're staying at a Geneva hotel, when you check in you'll get a card for free Geneva public transit β including the tram, bus and train β for the duration of your stay, so the ride back to the airport will be free.
Beja Airport
Any Clues to when it will open anyone?. We cannot wait for the airport to open.
Beja Airport
Lets Get this place up and running and get Alenteja on the map

This was a lovely aerodrome - now no longer; it has been developed as a gravel pit.
