Recommended!
Handling required, I received five star service from Medavia and highly recommended. Everything from arrival to departure, friendly service, brought me a ladder upon request, helped with tie down, fast fuel truck. Other handling agents (DC) did not reply to request. Jet A fuel price is the cheapest I have seen so far, under 1 euro per litre!
Parking was 90 euro for 6 nights.
As a larger airport, may be helpful to know parking was on Apron 3. For me this meant landing on Runway 13 and then back tracking.
VFR departures are preferred (and go IFR afterwards as desired) due to parking location. From Apron 3 they can quickly get to you to Runway 23 where they do VFR departures. For IFR departures off runway 31, that means you have to backtrack down Runway 31, which could take a long time due to all the commercial traffic.
Read the AIP / charts about VFR routing. They state that your desired VFR routing be put in the Route and Remarks section of your flight plan.
