[Trip report] Flying Brussels Airlines business class between Brussels Airport and Toronto Pearson

Share

Starter option 2: Carpaccio of pineapple tomatoes, wild shrimps, burrata, basil pesto and a redcurrant jelly

This holiday we decided to plan a trip to Toronto, Canada. A motorhome rental took us from Niagara Falls to Buffalo, U.S. to see the game between France and Belgium. Then we visited different national parks, to name a few: Green lakes and Adinrondack (both U.S.), Mont-Tremblant and the Algonquin (Canada). We ended our holiday with a visit to the aquarium and the CN tower downtown Toronto. We were able to fly business class on both segments. The flight back to Brussels was a red-eye hence I took less pictures.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
