I did not find any of problems you you mention during last years Europa clu
b
trip to France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Czech republic and Poland., other
than
the number of customs entry points having been reduced over the past few ye
ars.
Yes we had to enter and leave the Schengen area via a customs aerodrome. bu
t we
have had to do that when travelling from the UK ever since the Schengen
agreement was introduced many years ago.
Flying within the Schengen area was very easy all that seemed to be require
d was
a flight plan if you were crossing FIR boundaries. .
