Loadfactors hovering between 80-90% on most flights

Loadfactors is one thing but it is not a say-all-be-all. Yields and ancilliary revenues, THAT is strategic info

Why everything another airline does is seen here as an attack on SN is beyond me
Maybe we should just ban everyone who doesnt have a B on it's tail out of BRU.

You don't call this smirking? Then what is it exactly?

I just say facts ... no need to smirk about it.

wie laatst lacht, best lacht

LF still hovering around 80-90%

Nice trip report! Do they serve alcohol on board?

4) Seating arrangement : the one option I didn't check at RYR was to choose my seats while at JAF, by default I know they seat the entire family together. But again, this is quantifyable as at Ryanair it would have cost me 5€ a seat to book them in advance. 6 seats = 30€ extra...still financially m...

Great trip report, magnificant airplane (allthough on YouTube I saw it did show its age )
End of an Era.

With the current route offer, SN is not going to be the big loser. Of course it has to be seen which destinations will follow at BRU next winter season, but SN has coped quite well with for example EZY on routes like GVA, Berlin, BSL, MXP, LYS, TLS,... which attacks SN in it's more profitable busin...

Nobody so far has had to pay extra for all of the things you mentioned as FR doesn't not care so much about these rules anymore. On the very first day I was at BRU (you might have seen my report elsewhere on this site) and I saw with my own eyes passengers that were surprised by the amount they had...

No need to believe anything sean, swissport still runs on the old Sabena software; we can look straight into your figures, so no need to pull out a show here, manual loadsheet or not. ;) If you can check the software, then you saw that the outbound flights were more or less full? Inbound was a bit ...

It was, Flightlevels numbers we're incorrect

You don't have to believe me off course, couldn't care less.

One doens’t need a computer to calculate the yield of these first flights: they’re below zero. Unless 50% of the passengers forgot to print their boarding pass at home, hadn’t checked in their luggage online, made a spelling error in their name, arrived at the gate with overseized hand luggage, etc...

I can tell you that in the last couple of days outbound flights are between 90-100% loadfactor while inbound is hovering around 80% with expectations to rise (as the outbound people usually return as well)

If you are by car, you should go to the other side of the runway (the side of the old terminal) just past the roundabout.
You can park your car their and you have an unrestricted view on the approach and runway.

Based in belgium yes

Hmm .. True, but that changed a while ago. Bases are distributed 1 month before the training course starts, so plenty of time to decide if you take it or not. I was also based abroad for 3 years, it's a question of whether or not someone is willing to sit it out. Teddybair, initially you will be giv...

I have a stable roster, good vacation arrangements, drive my own car and life in my own house. I would call that "a good quality life." How did I manage? I adopted to the style, don't let myself get stressed out, managed to promote ... I admit its not for everyone, but there are also a lot...
