Years ago, I worked for various airlines, one of which did the Gatwick-Gibraltar route. With permission from the captain, I'd often do a jolly there and back in the flight deck. Don't know if it's still the same now, but in those days you weren't allowed to go straight from Spanish to Gib airspace, so from Spain you'd briefly pop into Moroccan airspace then turn into Gib. The approach and landing were always great fun, particularly when it was windy.

My favourite airport is Burgas. Opened about two hours after my birth. Obviously part of the worldwide celebrations (the delay must've been to ensure the infant was viable, and for the news to reach Bulgaria). Although, strangely, I can't find any other activity marking the day...

Always flown into Malaga airport (which is fucking huge)when going that way. Never bothered visiting Gibraltar,could be well wrong but always thought it was a bit Benidormish ?

Buy a dinghy and chuck your passport away and you’ll be laughing.

Last time I went, I drove over the border and had to queue for about two hours whilst some fat Pablo searched cars, dismantling straw donkeys looking for smuggled yorkshire puddings or pork sausages.
