This Post will be continually developed in the interest to promote and assist in European route planning.

EuroControl Realworld Website
*This site will give you a VERY good idea of the structure that exists in the European Airspaces.

Links for Europe:

VATEUD Main Page
Under Country / VACCs you will find country related information, such as:
*a map of the Country (helps to make sure your Dest. is there :p)
*link to their VACC webpage (this is where the CHARTS are at)
*a short description of the VACC (give you unique info specific to this countrys airspace)
*list of Staff members (with e-mail and function)

Also try this source for charts for Europe and MANY other Continents:

* this is layed out a bit different but it seems it is farly complete and very useful.

Charts for the United Kingdom:

UK AIS (Aeronautical Information Service)
* This is the site you have to sign up for. THERE IS NO OTHER SITE THAT I KNOW OF WITH UK CHARTS. So sign up or be happy with not having charts...its your call. For what it is worth I have been a registered member for close to 2yrs and have NEVER seen any evidence of my information being passed to a 3rd party.
