Visited for another quick night stop due to weather across UK/Europe. Friendly customs on the way in and no issues, and no check of COVID stuff...
Prices have slightly increased since my 2019 visit, but not bad really. The food in town is expensive now, and so are the drinks. Has a very Paris vibe to it where I paid 6 EUR for a hot chocolate a few years back.
We stayed nearby at the Hippotel Le Touquet which was £70 for the night (Booked the day before). Since COVID there is now no ATC from 1130UTC till 1300UTC, so ensure you plan around this.
On the return flight, I came back from the ramp having checked the aircraft and this really annoyed the officials, despite the lady at the reception desk giving me the heads up to go out to the aircraft as customs was on its break. I did apologise but I informed them the receptionist gave me permission to go to my aircraft.
