I also had a bad experience at Buochs. Used their on line service to book in but
did not get the requisite acknowledgement and when I arrived and called them
---From about 10 miles away they refused to let me land at first. Told me that I
had to go back to France. I hadnt enough fuel for that so after some argument
they eventually let me in but as John says, very expensive and inflexible. The
ground crew were. if fact quite accommodating once I had landed. One guy even
ran me into town but I would not go there again.
