What about EBKT? i have always found the airport staff helpful and friendly.
Everyone is really friendly and helpful there but don’t refuel over the weekend. I landed there for refueling and paid for €220 for 78 liters of Jet A1 – base price just above €1. Mineral oil tax, VAT, additional tax for private use, weekend surcharge (€62)… you name it. In total it was €100 more than I expected but in percentage it’s huge difference.

Thank you!

Yes, it seems a bit surprising to not be so hard on restricting even private deportees.
So we have agreed on Caen as the destination, departing to Koblenz tomorrow and then Caen on Friday. I am looking at fuel and foo stop alternatives for the way back to Sweden on Sunday, and EDDG Muenster/Osnabrueck seems to be a good option. Hopefully they provide a bit of food too. Does anyone have any other options you would recommend?
Thanks again everyone for your advice, much appreciated!

I just got the PPR approval, however it required a phone call, it was initially denied. They have commercial traffic on Sunday morning, so initially we were only allowed to depart after 12:30Z. The guy answering the phone was very supportive though, and suggested that if we refuel on arrival and pay the fee’s, we could depart 08:00Z 
Instead of Caen, I would also consider Deauville LFRG.

Looking at the weather forecast, while Austria doesn’t look bad for the next 5 days, for sure the weather in Northern and Central France as well as Belgium/NL (and even most of England) is looking very very solid. Should be a nice long flying weekend for many of us!Avoid Southern France and Central Italy! :-)
Indeed! This time of year often brings nice flying weather in many parts of Europe.
Austria looks OK but we’re not convinced just yet, so we will decide tomorrow probably where we go after Koblenz. I just submitted a PPR request to Caen, it seems like a really nice destination too. It’s probably where we will end up unless the Alps would bring blue skies and gentle winds

I think EBKT/LFOP are good alternatives to EBOS/LFRK if the coastal weather is foggy
Let me know if you are stopping or staying at Rouen, I can help with logistics
