Brussels Airlines  puts a unique gift under the Christmas tree again this year: until 28 December included, a gift voucher is available for 99 euro, valid for a round trip flight to a European destination of Brussels Airlines in Light&Relax (Brussels Airlines’ recently launched travel option, which includes 23kg of checked luggage and 12kg of hand luggage).

For this year’s b.gift offer, Brussels Airlines has teamed up with taxi app Uber*. Each b.gift voucher earns the recipient a Uber ride for up to 15 euro, so that, after the flight, they can easily move around at their destination.

The b.gift voucher can be purchased via christmas.brusselsairlines.com and the recipient can redeem it against a round trip to one of the 32 selected destinations in Europe. B.gift, which is available for one to four persons, are valid for travel between 15 January and 15 June 2015.

There’s also something in it for the one who purchases and offers the b.gift to a loved one: they receive 500 Miles & More miles per voucher. (so up to 2000 miles, for a b.gift voucher for four persons).

With the b.gift promotion, Brussels Airlines shows again that it offers attractive and competitive fares. Last year, no less than 15,000 people received a b.gift voucher from a loved one under the Christmas tree. These were sold in only three weeks’ time.
