A quick trip Shoreham EGKA to Weston EIWT Oct 2018

Why they charge more for international traffic, I don’t know.

because they know international visitors are likely to have more money?
because locals finance the airport through taxes?

I don’t find that shocking

I’m not trying to justify their fees, but Weston do communicate flight details to the Garda. They’ve had one or two episodes over the years which may be behind their policy.

Anyway, if you’re going to Dublin, where else are you going to go?

PS. Weston always was the ‘Wild West(on)’. It’s much more organised now. In the days of Capt. Kennedy (former owner, before Jim Mansfield), traffic came from all directions and anything went. However, the Good Captain was the only person I ever met who knew Saint-Exupery personally. He even had a trophy given to him by the great man to prove it.

One thing I know about Weston is it’s easier to nod your head, and put in your debit card pin number, than voice any grumbles. I keep my trap shut up there.

Hi Peter, I’m flying to Weston this month, would you publish the unpublished departure?
