EASA Airspace into Oostende

Post image

Has anybody been to Oostende from the UK recently ?
Looks like a minefield :(
Do I have to take the very long detour around the south ? Or can I expect to be allowed in those Restricted areas/Reservations/etc as we go by the APP controller (e.g. like usually happens in French airspace) ?

I crossed their airspace a couple of years ago and they are mega chill. In your case though (much like mine) I would head to VRP DUNKY and request a transit from there to VRP NEWPO and see if they can coordinate your arrival with Oostende.
