Corsaire31 419 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I've seen the news on the french forums, it's a nice job, but for the few times I go there the Occitania will be fine for me. I understand why you would want to have it if it's your local airport. Link to post Share on other sites
Corsaire31 419 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Made a little hop from my home (Muret L'Herm) to yours while trying my new Cessna 310. Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I flew into Perpignan airport once, Ryan Jet or Easy Air, I forget which. They only fly in in the tourist season so when I go down that way I usually end up going to Gerona or Barcelona and going back across the boarder. Link to post Share on other sites

ddavid 149 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 My only visit to Perpignan was in 1959, when we were 'packaged' en route to Lloret de Mar on the Costa Brava. Dan Air - or similar - took us from Gatwick in a beautiful, silver DC-3. The flight took 4 (four, count 'em) hours and we had sweeties for our ears before descending. My lingering memory of the airport's 'facilities' was a hole in the floor and 2 small pads for your feet whist you squatted. I must return there, sometime... Abiento - Dai.

britfrog 180 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 well I can reassure you both it hasnt changed that much no all joking aside the bogs at the airport are now modern however some motorway services can bring the odd smile or grimmance there is a motorway service just this side of the millau viaduct where there is only 1 place for men and ladies and the looks on peoples faces at times is hilarious i was standing at a mens pissoir next to a toilet door and a very pretty young lady came out , looked at me pointing percy at the porcelain , took a look at percy and walked off, thankfully she didnt leave laughing but the look on some brits faces needed a camera. talk about a face like they had sucked lemons yes there are still lots of places in france that have the old footprint bogs, just be careful when flushing that you are in the act of leaving if not you get you shoes washed free of charge :) Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,314 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I am still trying to figure out the parking numbers and lines in picture one and what wine drunk painted the heli circle and letters in pic four. Do I get instructions if I buy it. Link to post Share on other sites
hifly 925 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 I am still trying to figure out the parking numbers and lines in picture one and what wine drunk painted the heli circle and letters in pic four. Do I get instructions if I buy it. There was a chopper parked on the pad when the painter started work after a French lunch. Either that or he'll come back and write HAHAHA.
