Re: brussels airlines to New York!

Bruair should also add the option for passengers to select "New York NYC all airports"; then passengers can more easily choose whether they wish to fly to EWR or JFK based on "timings / airport of arrival / price etc".

Re: Brussels Airlines website

I agree that the Brussels Airlines website needs to be improved. I always have issues when looking for flights which originate from an airport other than Brussels (e.g. Dakar - Brussels), from the homepage it never gives me the pop down to select the 2 airports. This results in an error and directs...

When will Netherlands be added to BRU AIR network?

When will Brussels Airlines add Rotterdam / Amsterdam etc to its network? I'm guessing that in June/July trains can run on the Diabolo track, so if they charter a Thalys (or actually 1-2 wagons) a couple of times a day that would be great and it would attract a lot more passengers since BRU air flig...

Re: BRU summer 2012: latest news, routes, airlines

Also as of April only 4 daily flights to Dakar instead of 5 :-(. I wonder how BRUair & belgian government negotiated this deal, since after negotiation it seems even worse their deal now.
