If you're thinking of going over during the commemorations it's manic. You'll see more if you avoid the weekend nearest the 17th TBH but if you want to see the service at the Airborne Cemetery though it's very moving - particularly when the kids lay the flowers and the Dakota blasts over afterwards.

Oosterbeek is swarming with ex-Paras and it's actually a great atmosphere at night, there are pop-up bars aplenty.

Rooms are at a premium mid-September - I went with Ledger once and we stayed 30kms away, never again.

We usually drive to Harwich then it's one motorway from the Hook to Arnhem.

Easiest is flying EMA to Schiphol then hiring a car but we went with Flybe - dunno if anyone's taken over that route.

Any questions - feel free to ask. I've been a, erm, few times.
